stone10 -> Question about Soviet Guards (7/30/2011 10:22:01 PM)

1.Is there a limit to the number of Guard Army?
Are the units that directly attached to Guard Amy receive a 10 pts bonus to national moral?(or 5 pts?)

2.Is there a limit to the number of Guard Airbase Units?
What is the benefit of Guard Airbase if most of my air units have a 90+ moral?

3.Is there a limit to the number of Guard support unit? Or they are treated the same as on map units?

I believe there is no morale bonus for units being in a Guards Army.

There may be no bonus for an airbase reaching Guards status either.

Actually, the rules on the Guards Army have changed. It used to be they did nothing. Now under the new rules, I believe they work like shock armies in that they give any non guards unit attached to them a 5 bump to moral as long as they are not over command limits.

Me tired, can't remember all rule changes. [>:]

There is a limit to Guards armies, at least there was a while ago, but I don't recall the precise figure.

I believe the same restrictions that apply to on-map units also apply to support units when it comes to Guards conversion, but there are some exceptions it seems as Heavy Tank regiments can all become Guards according to what Pavel said a while ago.

page 166. from manual:

quote:

While not exact, there are limits to the number of each type of unit (infantry, armour, mountain,
artillery, etc.) that may become guards units. The size of the unit may impact the percentages,
with larger units having more impact than smaller ones. There is no limit on the number of
cavalry or airborne combat units that may become guards units.
The limit for motorized type units is approximately 35 percent. For non-motorized type units,
the approximate percentage limit varies by year as follows:
1941 - 5 percent
January - June 1942 -10 percent
July - December 1942 - 17 percent
1943 - 25 percent
1944 - 30 percent

Yes, but those figures don't include the special cases or the army HQ's, which have their own limits.
