Yes the AI will rebase planes. It will try and hold it close to the area of operations of the HQ it is attached to. The higher up the chain of command the more scope it has.
If I want to move a Theater HQ to another theater, can this be done?
Or do I have to create a new Theater HQ for every theater?

I don't know whether you can move a theatre HQ, but IIRC as soon as you open up a new theatre, eg North Afrika as Germany, the AI creates a theatre HQ automaticaly.
Ok, I think I finally get it.
The difference between outliner and map is, that the numbers on the outliner carry a sign. All red ones are negative.
So I conclude. that the minus sign here only means, that I am defending, while plus means attacking!?
If so, why not get rid of the sign, if the sign information is already represented through the color?
Because I thought that somehow the combat progress could go from minus 100% to plus 100%,
where 0% means, no advantage for any side.

If you choose to let the AI control your units, is it based on what difficulty level and what aggression you selected for the ai at the start of the game (ie, for the ai opponents)... Or is this all based on what orders you set for that particular Theater?
sorry if this has been asked before... i was trying to scour the posts to see....
what are teh two numbers on teh counters 0-1 or 1-2.... what do these numbers represent and what do they do

Well done on the DD. I think a couple of months for a surprise attack conquest of Yugoslavia is a fair possibility. It may not happen like that every time, but it is in the realms of realism.
They represent the relative attack (first number) and defense (second number) ability of that unit on a scale from 0 to 9.
King could you give us the layout of some of your divisions? Specifically id like to see the makeup of your HQ, motorised and standard infantry divisions. (by layout i mean what battalions you use to makeup your standard division of that type).
I just love this "put some of your troops under AI control" concept!! Even in a very bad scenario (when your programmers won't have enough time to tune it perfectly), and the AI would be 40% working well and 60% dumb, it would be a great addition to the possibilities of HOI series. I just stopped so much games in HOI2 because as the war progress futher, and my armies started to operate on 3 continents, the micromanagement went totally out of the top and playing it was only work, not fun anymore. 
The possibility to don't care at all to all these low-important/too-full-of-micro areas, and to care only about the funny ones is just GREAT. Kudos to anyone in Paradox who proposed this concept...

thanks for the quick response....that was what i was thinking.... kinda like the old school paper war games... like ETo and such......
ty..
sweet looking
But could we limit the Axis to be able to only declare limited wars ?
If allies can only declare full wars and axis only limited wars, it will be a good simulation of how closes where countries in those alliances.
The worst time for me was when I had knocked Soviet out of the war, but wanted to annex them, and had to go all the way to the pacific
I acctually think I'll use the AI command quite often, and the great thing is that you don't need to give orders to the theatre only, but instead you can give different objectives for the different army groups, thus you can also choose to have 3 AI army groups, and control one yourself
Also, kudos for King's commitment to this topic

I have a suspicion that HoI3's hierarchy/delegation system is inspired by Airborne Assault. Johan mentioned it on the Wargamer forum (and I'm pretty sure it was Johan).
Just want to ask isn't Yugoslavia high partisan area ?
Why would a weak country which has to fight against UK in north Africa want to spend army at guarding territories against partisans ?
Unless this is just a demonstration and it isn't truly worth of capturing.
