Reinforcments

No new icon appears when I click on reinforcement button. That is sad. :(

Then the battle roster of 16 units must be full. If it isn't, I have no idea what it can be.

In the first post MoKus made he ( she ? ) , stated the pointer was red when the flag was set. This seems odd as a red pointer usually specifies that the pointer is outside of the battles "playing zone". Has the flag been set "Off Map"?! If so, perhaps this is why the unit fails to arrive...

Yes. The pointer is red wherever I try to set it. What do you mean with question marked blank.

I note the word try. Does that mean you have not been able to move / reset it ?

My question ( marked Blank (sic) in your quote ) was an observation re your comment. When the pointer shows as RED you are generally NOT allowed to click on the Map at that point ( for whatever reason ). Having never tried to place the Reinforcements Flag in the "Red Zone" of the Map, I am uncertain if the game will or will not allow it. If it does, then that is likely to be the source of your problem.

[ NB: The Red Zone referred to here is the area of the map that you are not allowed to move to ( unless Routing or Withdrawing off the board ). It's also the point where your troops will stop chasing enemy units that are Routing or Withdrawing, as those troops can no longer be Rallied by the AI. ]

Is the Reinforcement button "Greyed Out" or Coloured ?
As advised previously ( by Stazi ), If the former, there are no reinforcements available. If you have more than 16 Troop units in the province, the button should however, be Coloured.

[ As stated by the others previously, a Reinforcement unit cannot enter until one of the original 16 units leaves the Map. Pressing on the Reinforcements Button automatically enters the Reinforcement onto the bottom of the Screen in the Units area, once the on map units are 15 or less. So you wait until the units drop to 15 ( or less ) and then press the Reinforcements button. You can see when the units total drops, as a space appears on the extreme right of the units area. However, the reinforcement may not appear in the obvious vacated slot ( that extreme right hand one ) but is likely to appear amongst the other unit labels ( perchance in the actual slot vacated by the leaving unit ? ). That point certainly confuses me for several seconds whenever I bring a unit on. ]

Hmmm. Late thought - is your reinforcement unit a Siege unit ? These units CANNOT be brought on as Reinforcements ( as DRONE said... ) !

No. I can set the flag in everyplace on map. The pointer before setting is however red.

That is strange because the pointer is red yet I can set the flag on everyplace that I want.

I see. I normally click on somewhere in center of map.

Colored.

I have more that 16 units in the province. I see that I have free spot in middle of battle. I first set the flag and then click on reinforcement button but nothing happens.

I have free spot yet I cannot reinforce.

No they are not siege unit.

I cannot recall if the pointer before setting is Red or Yellow, but I would think it should be Yellow. I am surprised it sets when the pointer is Red ( but I may be mistaken re this ).

That is a bad move, as you cannot gain control of the reinforcement until it reaches the flag ! It should be placed between the point it occupies at the start of a battle and the edge of the Map behind your Army. Note the Reinforcement/s will always enter the Map behind the initial Army position ( and usually near the centre of that Map edge ). Generally speaking , if you do not change the initial position of the Army, you don't really need to change the Flag position. If you later march your Army to ( say ) the right hand side of the Map, it becomes sensible to move the Flag towards that side too ( whilst still keeping it behind the Army )...

I first set the flag and then click on reinforcement button but nothing happens.

It is best ( IMHO ) to reset the flag as soon as the battle commences ( if you wish to move it ) ; rather than at the point the Reinforcement can arrive. Subsequent moves ( if made ) should ( IMHO ) only reflect the Armies moves ( e.g. Left, Right and Forward ).

I have free spot yet I cannot reinforce.

Hmmm, At this point I still think it's linked to the colour of the pointer. I think this is a "subtle" reminder that you are doing something wrong. I am unsure exactly what though...

No they are not siege unit.

OK.
