common/static_modifiers. look for base values. IC there is offmap IC. I think it's either free or you automagically get enough resources for it, but I am not sure.
How do I establish a new theater? I am the UK and want to set up a continental (France) Theater for the BEF.
I told the Home guard to go to Dunkirk, and nothing happened. Even assigned it the navy and air force.
Also, where is the "these units are need / are being upgraded / reinforced" statistics screen?

Well I know I will not keep my promise but another question:
How can I set units of East Germany HQ to be commanded by the West Germany HQ? (Switch theatres to units)

Detach the units from one HQ, then attach them to the other. The Detach button is on the left-centre of the unit interface with a left arrow. Once detached, the button changes to a right arrow to Attach, click it then you see a list of HQs available.
it appears that objectives not on your own territory are ignored (unless its enemy), transit rights or no transit rights. I shipped several corps over to france and ordered them in a defensive stance to protect metz. They moved to the channel islands. I ordered a corps in the mediterranean to protect the iraqi-iranian border. They moved to Kuwait. Either I am doing something fundamentaly wrong or defending allied territory will be very time consuming in HoI3, since you have to order every division around by itself.
Select the Corps HQ and click on the Select All button, then just give one order to the HQ and its Divisions to move or SR to Metz.
That gets them to Metz. it is still not possible to have the AI defend objectives in allied territory.
Well i've had polish forces do nothing when i ordered a corps to attack stance and set some targets inside eastern prussia.. Also i don't think it helps that there is a 6 day delay between german attacks.. things become rather unblitzkrieg due to that.
It geneally seems less than functional here in the demo which is kinda sad as i was looking forward to relegating some parts to it.

King replied elaborately to this elsewhere: having two AIs running the same front would considerably mess things up.
So either you send those forces as Expeditionnary forces to the French AI, or you control them manually (but without actual coordination with the French AI).
Sorry i still don't get it.
AI-Control only works fine at armygroup-level or above...
If i give orders at corps or army level with ai control nothing happened
Little example because of my bad english:
OB West
->Heeresgruppe C
->->4.Army (consist of 2corps and 3 divs)
so put the 4th Army under ai control and gave order to cover 3 provinces.
They do nothing!
Only if i give the sameorders to the next higher level (Heeresgruppe C) they begin to move...but then all the other armies attached to Heeresgruppe C do the same!!!
But i only want to have the 4th to be under ai-control!

Now that is odd, I am going to mention this to our AI guy tomorrow
I have experienced something similar as that with Poland, i gave an order to move into east prussa to a corps, nothing happened.. Then again, as the germans i had a corps i made myself and gave them an order to attack, and they followed it nicely. So there certainly is something to it.
But i do believe the AI is in need of some tweaking when it comes to this as right now it's pretty uhm.. Unhelpful and at times i just feel it's easier to just do it myself.

I have just tried this in the demo, it works if you order them to attack, but not to defend your own provinces.
I am having problems with the AI.
I can't select the AI flag button if i am using the AI controls theater option.
And is there no simple way to get the AI to attack Poland as Germany? I thought the whole advantage of allowing the AI to control a whole theater was that you could simply tell the AI something like:
"Yea you use these forces i just gave you to invade that country" and things of that sort, but the AI system fells to complex, and to a point where i found my self asking my self why i was bothering with it at all since i could just order my men to invade my self.
Also, why can't i allow the AI to reply to trade deals for me like i could in HOI 2? I don't have time to reply to all of that crap while fighting a war

Front AI in the demo.
This may seem like a bit of an odd question, and I will feel like a complete idiot should the fix be simple, but: How do you assign theater command to the AI? Specifically, the western front as Germany?

Not sure, bugged? In the AI department though it needs work... When there are 3 ajacent provinces open in poland and tanks and infantry are not rushing through them to create a breach somethings wrong...
If you give an order to the Theater AI then you won't be able to give an order to anything below it until it either accomplishes the task given or you cancel the task at that level.
The Theater AI? I thought it did a fairly solid job of attacking Poland when I gave the theater AI the task to take Warsaw. It seemed to be a little timid and odd at times but overall I was fairly impressed with it.

I haven't tried it personally but if you set the Diplomacy section to AI control wouldn't that make the AI take care of all those deals for you.
