Ok If this is the case then I would agree that the Corp structure is better for reserve activation. So that is a relief.
It means disbanding the Corp tier won't help you out in this situation (not withstanding the extra Manpower).
I guess Pelton and Co are basing their theory on the RAW. It will be good to get it up to date when you get time.
Thanks for you input [:)]
GHC has no issues in the first plase with reserve activations as you know from our game MT. Every single battle I had the max per battle. You had to attack each hex 3 to 5 times to get a win when you started attacking in late 42.
This tactic does not work any more as the ammo bug has been nerfed.
Meaning it would be next to imposible to move the GHC lines if they retreated during blizzard and dug in.
1. Reserve activations are not the benifit of disbanding Corp HQ for GHC as you know first hand. They are simply 100% guaranteed if things are set-up right. Again there is no need to test this as it has been proven on the battle field vs YOU and many others.
2. There are no - % to combat modifiers for units from one Corp helping another in the same army.
3. 2 to 3x the SU commitment. As I have pointed out more then once, poineer,tank ect are put in the divisions with arty/AA and others in AGHQ. Again proven in game now by JB A-game and many others now.
4. 400,000 more men. DoH
The reserve activations phase of defending only lasts so long the true benifits of disbanding Corp HQ's in normal games ( our was not normal) its 2-3 that really add up over time. The 10% might not seem like much or 12 SU's instead of 6, but how many battles out of say 30 per turn are close? 2 .0 to 1 through 2.5 to 1? Allot from my exp. Close to 20%, that means out of 30 attacks SHC loses another 6 per turn. Thats huge over 120 turns. about 700 battles.
This game is based on retreat loses. As GHC loses to SHC from 43-45 is reallya complete non-factor as SHC manpower and armament pools grow no matter what now because SHC easly can railout all but 30 arm pts.
The plus is GHC guns, men and moral saved from the 700 less retreats. This also causes SHC allot long to build moral over all.
There is no down side to supplies.
If I start up another game instead of disbanding a HQ or 2 per turn starting turn one I will do 20 the first turn.
Personally I do not see SHC reserve activations being an issue. You simply have to change tactics as GHC, your not going to be doing a bunch of mad dashes from August 41 -45.
