Does picking off command squads help?


Recommended Posts

When playing SF my normal tactic is to find and destroy all the HQ squads of the enemy. I was wondering if this has an effect on the units that HQ commanded? This stratergy is from games like CC and CMx1 where knocking out the HQ units would make the rest of the enemy much more likely to flee or surrender.

Does it work in SF? I assume the biggest place it would effect would be Syrian regulars while SF and US units are better able to work without a HQ.

Take out a syrian HQ and the whole platoon will become pretty much combat ineffective. Poor quality troops may even rout then and there.

I have played a game where 2 tank rounds took out an entire company this way!

Im pretty sure that killing HQ's has little effect on US forces and the NCO's will just pull the platoon together and push on regardless.

I would love some confirmation on that though as I have a US HQ team in my sights right now and I want to know if it is worth opening fire!
