Many are stacks of 3 because the 4th wing had so much damage it was sent to Berlin for repairs. But yeah, I'll take your advise on board thanks. .
Yes, Berlin is the one important location that does not work at all for using this concept of "rebasing without ORG loss" as regards getting the Berlin INT-III unit added to stack based in France. However, it possible to pull it over to Amsterdam or Essen (if stacks are based there) by combining above Hannover, and then doing another "pull" to get it with 3-unit stack in France.
This concept has a couple peculiarities:
1) Mostly the combined stack bases itself where leader was based. It is quite possible for Leader unit in Berlin to combine with 3 non-leader units in Essen, and place the newly combined stack all in Berlin (a bit of a disaster).
2) There seems to be a sort of "count" that may be relevant. After pulling 3 aircraft from Berlin to Essen on different occassions, the next try might take all to Berlin (inspite of no leader on Berlin unit) because the basic "home base count" of the combined stack is "origin Berlin, and not Essen". Sometimes this happens, sometimes not (actually just bad play testing so that I don't know for sure). But I avoid it by regularly rebasing the Essen stack on Essen (no lost ORG) so I should get a new "home base count" of predominantly Essen to safely draw a couple more units from Berlin.
Anyway, your AAR is most interesting. I worry about Germany's MP. Wonder how critical MP is for the Reds right now? There has been much discussion if Germany really can do a war of attrition with SU (both in the game and IRL).
