+
=Using Reinforcement Expansions=
  
#Go to the [[Modernization]] Menu and move your course over the right side of the card of your Kanmusu. (A notification telling you that an Improvement Expansion is needed will appear)
+
The following conditions must be fulfilled before a RE can be used:
#Click on the card and you will be given an option to choose whether or not you want to use your expansion.
 
#Click on the Left Option to Accept or the Right Option to return to the screen

The extra slot can be used to provide your kanmusu with a [[Repair Team]], [[Repair Goddess]], [[Battle Rations|Combat Rations]], Anti-Air Guns, Armor Bulges and [[Maritime Resupply]]*.
+
Not meeting either condition will block the RE menu. Once both conditions have been met, follow the following steps:
*Only ([[Hayasui]] can  [[Maritime Resupply]] in the extra slot.
 
  
==Benefits and Uses of Reinforcement Expansions==
+
# Proceed to the [[Remodel (Menu)|Remodel menu]] and select the girl to use the RE on.
'''Reinforcement Expansions''' are mainly beneficial in helping providing your fleet with an edge in battle by allowing them to be able to use items and gear which would otherwise hinder the performance of your kanmusu without it. In most situations players will use the expansions to carry rations to boost moral, carry repair teams or goddesses to push thier fleet forward in situations where they may be otherwise be forced to return back to base (usually in events)and as of recent, allowing for you kanmusus to carry anti-air guns and Armor Bulges they would otherwise not use due to the restrictions they would place if placed in your equipment section.
+
# Mouse over the right side of her card and a notification saying '''"Add Extra Equipment Slots (補強装備を増設改修する)''' will appear.
 +
# Click on her card and a menu will appear asking to confirm RE use or not.
 +
# Click on the '''Add Reinforcement Expansion (増設改修する)''' button to confirm.
 +
# An extra equipment slot will then be added to the girl.
  
They can also be used to gain a tactical edge in battle by allowing for your kanmusu to become more versatile in the process by allowing for ships such as [[Maya|Maya Kai Ni]] and the [[:Category:Akizuki Class|Akizuki-Class]] to be able to use Anti-Air Cut-Ins while also being able to conduct double attacks (in Day/and Night battle with [[Maya|Maya Kai Ni]] or Torpedo Cut-in Attacks during night battle.
