sabazius Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Newbie question here: Anyone have general suggestions for when/where it's best for Allies to buy HQs? Should the Russkies get another one before the Germans start pouring in, or just wait for the Siberians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scook Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I generally wait until later in the game to buy HQ for USSR, have 2 or 3 on the map for the USA by mid '42, and whenever I can afford one for Britain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I always buy Patton, early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Easy way, count up your units, divide by the HQ's national ability to control. Don't count units that you're going to leave as "speedbumps". For the Russian's, two is plenty till you're ready to go on the offensive. For the UK, steal the one from Egypt if you can. US, don't bother, buy another bomber instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 @Lars --- Winning & playing are two different things. There's a subtle key to the use of HQs in both SC & SC2. Go back to the drawing board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Shoot, I'll have to remember to make a point of buying Patton early next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck_para Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I usually buy one for the Russinas when I can finally go on the offence. I try and get at least one extra for the US but can't seem to ever afford it for the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
