Why won't they arrive? That is not my understanding of this code. I also
believe I have seen this work in savegames (using the harder difficulties
patch).

If the reinforcements_value function checked our own units to see if they
were occupied with some other task (like bodyguarding, goto, etc), I would
understand your objection, but as is, allied units are as good as our own.

My fault. They always did. My fix should stop allied SDI from blasting our
nukes from the sky.
