Then you use that GP\/NFP total to rebuild them into V6 units of the same type. During this step, if you wish, you can convert 1 NFP into 1 GP (and after you see how much V6 units cost, you&#8217;ll want to&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>But you cannot carry over GP\/NFP to a different type-group in the same garrison, army or fleet &#8211; or to a whole &#8216;nother garrison, army or fleet in a different region \/ city.<\/p>\n<p>During this rebuild, you do not have to worry about the City Industry, or Yard Capacities, needed to build the new units. That&#8217;s a gimme. But you <strong>cannot<\/strong> rebuild into units you do not have the R&#038;D Project for, if the unit type has a project requirement.<\/p>\n<p>If you find that you have only one (1) unit in a type-group, and it&#8217;s V5 cost is less than the V6 cost for the cheapest equivalent unit (like converting a V5 Steam Cruiser (sca) to a V6 Wooden Steam Cruiser (scw)), then you get the equivalent V6 unit. A bonus!<\/p>\n<p>If you have GP or NFP left over after your rebuild &#8211; that excess is lost. Yeah, cry me a river&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Japan has an fleet of 100hw, 60t, 20xew. This breaks down into two type-groups: Sail Warships (100hw,20xew) and Sail Transports (60t). The <em>Sail Warships<\/em> group cost (in V5 terms) 640gp \/ 140 nfp. The <em>Sail Transports<\/em> group cost 240gp \/ 60 nfp.<\/p>\n<p>In V6 terms, an example (and there are many permutations, of course) of the new <em>Sail Warships<\/em> group might be: 9hw (1st Rank Ships of the Line) and 2gfw (Frigates) and 3lw (Corvettes) for a cost of 639gp and 25nfp. Well, that&#8217;s not quite right&#8230; that leaves them with 115 excess NFP! So the Japanese player will want to convert some of those NFP into GP (as per the note above); let&#8217;s say&#8230; 108 NFP to GP, and that lets him build another 6gfw (Frigates) for 108gp and 4.8nfp.<\/p>\n<p>That leaves him with 3.2 NFP in excess &#8212; which is exactly what he needs to get another 1lw (Corvette) for 3 GP and 0.2 NFP! Perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Now to the <em>Sail Transports<\/em> group; here he has 240 GP and 6o NFP to work with. As it happens the V5 HT (Heavy Transport) is the almost exact equivalent of the V6 T (Ordinary Transport) unit, save the NFP cost is much less in V6 (0.1 NFP vs. 1 NFP). So the Japanese player is getting a <strong>bonus<\/strong> of 54 NFP from the conversion. He could get 13 T more for 52 GP and 1.3 NFP, which leaves him with an excess of only 0.7 NFP &#8211; which will be lost.<\/p>\n<p>His final, converted, fleet is 9hw, 8gfw, 4lw and 73t.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Send me your rebuilds, listed by Leader and Garrison, as soon as you can.
