Why can't I place my Garrison units?

[Saltynuts]

I'm fixing to liberate Russia, which will give me a 30% to dissent. Trying to use garrisons to reduce the revolts. However, the game will not let me put them in so many places! Trying everywhere in my territory (not my allies/puppets) where revolt risk is high (red) - but just can't seem to place them. What might I be doing wrong?

Thanks!

Its like it is only letting me put them in my national core provinces. That can't be right, can it?!

If you removed them from somewhere with no line of sight(land connection of your own province then you cant move them back there
just like on january 1936 with germany, you cannot strategically redeploy units from Konisberg to cologne... to land connection to the territory

It is not about national provinces, it is about owned provinces. New divisions can only be placed in owned provinces which either have a direct land connection to your capital or are part of a different landmass that has 40+ base ic. The later is the case of India, but other land masses could achieve similar. If somehow Japan conquers great parts of asia so that a chain of provinces totals to 40 base ic japan could directly place new divisions to owned provinces on that land mass.

Often you donnot want to place new divisions directly at their target. First you place them where ESE is high. Once their supply stockpiles are at 100% you redeploy them to their target. That can happen by regular movement, transportation in transport ships(or airplane for paratroopers) or by strategic redeployment. The later you will want to have done prior to risking high dissent. Proper timing is always so crucial in AoD.

Also, you can not strategically redeploy GAR to provinces that are adjacent to enemy (includes retreaters).

Ah, it is indeed the strategic redeployment thing I was forgetting. That is what I need to get them out of my core provinces to the frontiers. Thanks so much guys!
