Active Bonus Help

[Annfield Red]

When in Galactic Conquest, how do you active your secondary reinforcements. When chosen how do you get your extra garrison of troops?

[zerted]

I believe they are given to you at the start of the level. Your renforcement count should be higher than it normally is for that level.

Zerted,

 

Thanks for this, I checked this out last night, and when picked as a bonus it tell you that secondary reinforcements are standing by, and both sides start with 250 each.

 

Anything else to try or should I just forget about that bonus and choose another, like Jedi hero.

All the bonuses work, its just been so long since I used them, I forgot how some of the work. I always liked using Bacta Tanks (or whatever it is). It heals you as you fight.

I've had a couple of theories too. My friend said, maybe you get more units on the field at the same time. But apparently not. So then, playing Geonosis, the Sepratists boosted from 23 to 53. I was a little confused, but in the end we won. Secondary reinforcments is tough to understand but this is it. When you have at least 2 CP's or more, and you are losing by maybe 20-30 tickets, your count will go 20 or 10 above your enemies. It's really odd to explain, but it gives a hint in the manual by saying that if you have 2 command posts, reinforcments can still join.

Thanks for this. Will try losing later to see if this works. If not then won't pick it again. Roll on Battlefront II

Are the tickets your TOTAL TROOPS EVER, or are they sort of like "lives" in addition to your starting troops?

 

Because perhaps it could be explained as you have X troops normally, plus your ticket total of 250 (or whatever). So the reinforcements might mean you start with X + Y troops (more than normal)? I don't know for sure...

Secondary reiforcements only activate when you are down to your last set of troops (defeat is imminent)

[Kurgan]

Ah...

So when you normally would have run out, you get an emergency force, right at the end. Cool!

 

How many do you get, usually?

Fate's Decision,

 

I tried this but still no sign of extra troops. Looks like Jedi Hero or bacta tanks from now on. :-)
