Status: offline 		Hi everyone, I am playing the GC as Axis against Soviet AI. It is still July and I have broken through the soviet lines around Smolensk. Only 100 mile between me and a meeting with Stalin himself.

Problem is I am very low on supplies at the front lines. I want to do the HQ Buildup thingy but it isn't an option for my most important HQs (my Panzer groups). Any idea why that might be?

Status: offline 		I did not move my HQ unit. So it must be distance from the rail head.

How close do you need to be? I could not find anything in the manual on that aspect, only that HQ units cannot move.

Status: offline 		It's not in the orignal manual but you can find it in the updated Manual [US letter]:

6) Rule Change (section 20.6) - HQ supply buildups are not allowed for HQ's that are more than 20 MPs from their railhead at the moment the HQ buildup is ordered. In addition, the AP cost of an HQ buildup is now increased by the distance in MPs of the HQ from a railhead divided by 3 (truncated). So for an HQ with 3 attached divisions that is 16 MPs from a supply source, the AP cost would be 5+2+2+2+(16/3) =16 (used to be just 11). This increased AP cost is used to calculate the other buildup penalties described in section 20.6.3 in the manual.

Thank you so much!!! BTW how do we get the updated Manual? Does it update automatically? Game tells me I have the latest update but I didtn't see the 20 MPs part.

It isn't on the load up screen but it is there in the directory. However I am unable to open that 1 manual. The rest open. :(
