Something I've noticed in a surrounded stack as Japan in 1945: When supplies are low the HQ units suck them all up and my infantry and arty units are left out to dry...

I'm thinking the next time I need to do a last stand, I'll try to leave no more than two HQ units (a Corps and Army) in the stack.


I'd get them all out before they get surrounded even if they get caught and destroyed. They serve no function right on the front line anyway (except for island invasions and maybe if you're the ones doing the surrounding). Think Meade's HQ at Gettysburg. What are those dead horses accomplishing?

I'll agree with that. Those rear area boys seem to suck up lot's of supplies.
