grifter151 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Can an HQ affect or help a nearby unit, even if the unit isn't assigned to that particular HQ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I'm not sure, but I think it's something like this... Units are automatically assigned to HQs based on need. If a unit is in a city it likely won't take supply from an hq as it will have good supply already. HQ's can only supply up to 5 units. This is important especially if you are conducting amphibious assaults. And speaking of Amphibious invasions, HQ's draw some supply from cities. This means that in you land troops on hostile soil, but don't have control of a city, supply will be limited, (a max of 7 I think). However, once you take a city, your HQ can supply units up to their healthy maximums. [ June 25, 2002, 09:57 AM: Message edited by: Otto ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorski Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 I don't think it's based on need. I think the computer selects HQ's one at a time and 'commands' the closest 5 units. The computer might select HQ's by scanning one row or column at a time and selecting whichever HQ it finds first. This is all guesswork on my part. Watch the HQ command patterns during the blitz of France and Russia and you will see what I mean. Gorski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
