Some answers from my experience: Corps HQ - command radius of 5 - controls divisions supplying them with SUs to support them in combat and logistical/fortification abilities. Best support is if the HQ has not yet moved in the turn as they will supply all combats but only Deliberate Attacks if it has moved. Supplies the best chance of leadership roll success. It has to combine with another Corps HQ to have any affect on supply capacity. Army HQ - command radius of 15 - controls Corps and divisions supply them with SUs within a range of 5 to support in combat and logistical/fortification abilities. It is a good SU holder for transferring SUs between Corps. But is much less likely to do so than a Corps HQ. Gives a leadership roll success and it USUALLY has better command abilities than a Corps commander. If stacked on a rail depot will increase the supply capacity of the depot. Army Group/Front HQ - command radius of 45 - controls Army/Corps/Divisions with very reduced leadership capabilities. It is a good SU holder for all units in its command for transferring SUs around. Usual role is to increase the supply capacity of a depot drawing additional supply to help the units in its command. High Command - command radius of 90 - controls all friendly units on map. Able to do some leadership support but very unlikely. It is the place that SUs enter the theater. It is able to distribute these SUs as needed to any other HQ on the map that can trace a land supply line back to the HQ. It does help with the supply capacity of a depot but is usually far to the rear. There are other types of HQs: rail repair, air commands, etc. These are mostly game mechanic HQs that must be present on the map for the game to work properly but have little or no other effect. Rail repair HQs are there for rail conversion/repair and no other abilties beyond that. These are, however, a minority of HQs present in the game. Only the Air Command HQs are totally useless but they must be present on the map in order for the game to work properly.
