ORIGINAL: OPilot In most scenarios, in the GC, and I believe historically, an Air HQ was located at Kwajalein. Roi-Namur, which is at the other end of the atoll 1 hex way, is better suited for expanding an AF for basing Japanese medium bombers (Bettys and Nells). The Air HQ's usually have a command radius of 1. My questions relate to the extent which the Air HQ at Kwajalein exerts influence on the Roi-Namur base: 1. Does the command radius of "1" extend into adjacent hexes or just the hex in which it is located? Does it extend from Kwajalein to Roi-Namur to help by allowing more aircraft to fly and allowing more air units to be based there, coordinating aircraft replacement/upgrades and supporting more groups at a base? 2. Can the Air HQ at Kwajalein provide torpedoes to Bettys and Nells at Roi-Namur? 3. Is it better to relocate the Air HQ to Roi-Namur or leave it at Kwajalein? I have always relocated the Air HQ's to Roi-Namur because it looked like the only way to provide the bombers with torpedoes. How do others deal with this situation? Recommend you read the newbie FAQ. Good stuff here: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2260137 I also recommend you read the post history of Alfred: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/showprofile.asp?memid=22406 He's a crotchety guy that probably spends his days yelling "GET OFF MY LAWN!", but his posts generally have good info in them. I know he posted on the details of how this works within the last 6 months, but I can't find it. (search on this forum sucks and the google search is not much better tonight - cannot seem to find the post I am thinking of. ) 1. Supposedly, yes. See section 8 of the above link: "Command Radius 1 = One hex from the HQ.i.e. Hex HQ is in and all 6 Hexes around." 2. From memory of the post I have given up finding: Yes. Air groups in Command Radius of the HQ can supply torpedoes. Assuming appropriate supply, etc. 3. IMO, yes. While my understanding is that the HQ will provide torpedoes, the Aviation Support doesn't extend out in hexes afaik. I have seen suggestions where naval support had some effect upon things like port loading within their command radius. I have not seen anything suggesting Av Support extended beyond the base. So, why put aviation support where they have no, or fewer planes to repair? AV support is not the only thing an Air HQ does. It can help with getting replacement aircraft and upgrades, and with coordination of air strikes.
