swkuh -> RE: Attachable support units (5/13/2014 11:46:36 AM)

Interesting topic.
For Germans at least, support units when attached to divisions are not available to any other unit of any type for reassignment. Support units attached to corps HQs are available to that HQ's combat units in combats only. Construction Bns are assigned in the HQ's local area (but ? how large the area.) Support units attached to higher level HQs may be attached to other HQs within larger regions (AFAIK.)
Automatic assignment of support units may be accomplished by setting the commitment level from 1 to 9 and the game code will swap them around until those levels are met (except Engineers & Construction Bns.) Believe the "on the map" location of the Bns is never seen. They seem to "float" around the HQ to which they're attached.
When playing AI as Axis I set all corps commitment levels to 1, OKH to 9, and intervening HQs to 0. After a few turns I manually attach what I want to corps HQs and lock them. Rail OKH around to get this done. Uses a lot of APs, though.
Although some Bns at corps & division level are quite useful, not sure that a lot of them really pay off, or if assignments at higher level HQs ever participate in combats
If any can say better, please do.
