Reinforcements area

Every player maintains a “reinforcements area" consisting of his unused plastic units and Command Counters. Whenever a player builds a unit, it is taken from his available reinforcements and thereafter placed on the board. (An exception to this is the Fighter and Ground Force Supplement counter, and the Shock Troops). Whenever a player receives a new Command Counter, it is taken from his available reinforcements and placed in one of the three appropriate boxes on his Race Sheet (Command Pool, Fleet Supply, or Strategy Allocation).
