Darman,

On the Non-Naval Forces tab,
the number of deployed army and deployment units appears to exceed the number you actually have by 2,
triggering the "To Many!" warning.

Looking at your deployments, you have many homeland units, and 36 uncommitted deployment points.
So you do have forces available to expand.

I realized that while looking at my 1915-1 report and thought it was unique to that report and not a carry over from the previous one.  Will fix in 1914/2 report. 

I also realized that I forgot the $5 max IC investment in the colonies rule.  So I claimed two projects would be completing end of 1914/2 but I'm going to spread that investment among 4 projects (all 4 will be colonial IC projects receiving $5 each instead of the current two receiving $10 each). 

The revised report should come out equal to the original.  Will attach here.

Thanks for the catch on the $5,
I skim these things for the colony count, but don't have time to scrutinize everything.
The troop count I simply happened to build a warning test into the sheet.
Should have done that for the colony $5.

Oh well.
Actually I'm pretty pleased with how the turnsheet is holding up,
various folks- including me- have made mild tweaks, but it's proving
a useful outgrowth of the original.

I'm looking at your sheet

Two things :

A)
The Canary Islands aren't actually part of Iberia, they are a colony.
So the IC on them should be moved to a Homeland
The Canaries should be added to the colony list, and you will need both a garrison and to eventually build an IC there.

B)
I notice the Homeland provinces have changed.

Technically, you're not supposed to have more than 3-6
and they are supposed to be about the same size.
Not 1 - 22.

Functionally, I don't think it matters anymore.
The way Snip had set it up, Homeland region size
mattered, but I don't think it does anymore.

There is the downside that Fort Points and Airpoints
are assigned on a region basis, not province, so
bundling your home provinces into large regions
is more 'efficient'....because somehow $1/$1BP of fort point
is just as effective at protecting the 22 Algerian provinces
as the  8 portugal provinces...

Also...

These are my mostest favoritest of words

A) The Canary Islands aren't actually part of Iberia, they are a colony.

I have always assumed from the beginning that they were part of the Homeland.  I can change that. 

B) I notice the Homeland provinces have changed.

I can also change this if needed, I definitely redid Olekit's original province set up (I was aiming for a historical distribution of provinces).  I'm not sure I ever realized we were limited to 3-6 internal Homeland regions.  My fault for missing that. 

Also...

....I fear what comes next

[Darman]

I am altering the Canaries to a colony, and because I needed to spread IC investment out, one of those colonies will be the Canaries.

I think this point we can call that un-needed.
The original vision for home regions had impacts on colonial regions.
Since we've refined that, it's not as relevant.

But...
thanks for being willing.
