Question:
Regarding forces that rise against the Republic that did not do so historically.  For example, the N.52 Loyalist fighter rose against the Republic when the Insurgency gained ownership of the West Madrid hex.  The Loyalist I Nov 36 OB says that N.52 withdraws?  Should the Insurgent side withdraw the Insurgent N.52 on  I Nov 36, or ignore the issue?  Same question would apply to any other such unit that is referenced in one side’s OB when the unit or air unit is owned by the other side due to variable rebellion.

Answer:
A reinforcement activity – such as a withdrawal – only applies to the side it is specified for.  For example, reinforcement activities specified for the Loyalists apply *only* to Loyalist forces.  Therefore, if the sole N.52 fighter in the game falls to the Insurgency as part of “Variable Beginning to the Rebellion”, it is thereafter an Insurgent N.52 and any and all references in the Loyalist OB to a Loyalist N.52 (which does not exist in this game’s universe) are ignored.
