deadeye3 Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 Ok so I have a company of guys. Each platoon has a platoon leader and my company has one company HQ. Now this company HQ can be placed wherever on the board I want, even in a latrine. Speaking of latrines, What's up with that old song, Skip, Skip, Skip to my Loo Skip, Skip, Skip to my Loo Skip, Skip, Skip to my Loo my darling... What's up with that anyways? Some English person on their way to the bathroom? And why would you take you darling there with you? Ok anyways back to the Company HQ, He never has a command line between him and anyone else. At least as far as I can see. So what good is he? Is he only good next to certain units? Is he only good for cleaning toilets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwhit21 Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 I found hes good for following your main force and any units that break will go back to him so he can restore morale then after awhile u will have another platoon of beat up guys for fire support. Or if u wanted to use him to split up a platoon ie leave platton hq and one squad to defend flag while using company hq and 2 squads (from that platton) to go support another secter.Company hqs can be used to command all ur mortars and spot for them or for Foward Observers or support guns behind the lines. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Gustav Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 Basically, a company or batallion HQ can be used to command all units, while a platoon HQ can only command squads from his platoon and support troops. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.

curih Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 The command hierarchy come into play here. An HQ will have a command line to any unit it can command that is not under the command of a lower level HQ. So if all your units are in command of a platoon HQ you won't see any command lines to the Company HQ. curih Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagdwyrm Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 Try using them to help keep command control on AT guns, Inf Guns, Mortars, MGs etc. thats how i like to use them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Petersson Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 The only "problem" I have ist that the company HQ is able to command troops from another company than his own... Oh, and you will also find that the company HQ take command of any infantry unit that's close to it but further from their organic platoon HQ.

Holman Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 *** quote *** The only "problem" I have ist that the company HQ is able to command troops from another company than his own... *** unquote *** I always take this to mean that enlisted men with follow a Captain even if he's not *their* Captain. "You men follow me!" *** quote *** Oh, and you will also find that the company HQ take command of any infantry unit that's close to it but further from their organic platoon HQ. *** unquote *** Just a (probably unnecessary) clarification here: a company HQ can command infantry squads that are OUT OF RANGE of their own organic platoon HQ. However, any MG team, mortar, spotter, or other independent team will take command from whatever HQ (of any level) is closest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
