Military Unit & Fleet 2023 Update Clarification

Hi,

E2 is going to be my first event of 2023.
Reading the 2023 rules update I can see that MUs and Fleets are now affected by production penalties if they are based in a conquered territory. I can understand wanting to close a game balance loophole but I need a quick clarification.

Just to make sure I am reading this correctly…
Does this just affect the rings, resources, bounty etc. that I get in my player pack or does this also affect the effective level of a Fleet or Military Unit in combat ie Assisting an Army, Navy etc.?

For a definite answer you’d need to email rules@pd.

Personally I would expect that it reduces the effective level of the resources and so would reduce the amount of force they can contribute.
