What happens to the Reserve Force if the enemy situation is more unknown?

When the enemy situation is more unknown, you keep a larger Reserve Force because uncertainty creates more risk and more potential surprises. The Reserve is the flexible pool of forces you can pull from to respond quickly to unexpected moves, reinforce weak points, cover withdrawals, or exploit new opportunities without overextending your main plan. With higher unknowns, that extra buffer is essential to maintain options and adaptability. If you tried to reduce or remove the reserve, you’d have less ability to adapt to surprises, increasing the chance that a sudden development could derail the operation. Keeping the reserve the same ignores the added risk, and having no reserve at all would leave you vulnerable to unpredictable enemy actions.
