edit: i noticed that in the supply detail screen that the negative replacement values correspond with an increase in manpower. I'll just get all these "losses" back as replacements then right?

What level HQs are these assignations coming from, and when the job is done does the SU return to the higher HQ?

any that is in range, so that bit is fairly random. The SU returns to its host HQ when it is finished

if I recall, you can't breach these limits, they are a hard cap (unlike ground HQs)

in the early turns with the axis I wouldn't worry too much about corps-HQ ranges, for the most part your corps commanders will pass most tests and you will tend to dominate most battles.

an advantage to the infantry in the Pzr Grps is they retain the advantages of being in an assault command for CPP gain etc

I remember reading in manual and there was something written that >10:1 combat result is needed to not generating any combat delay, but I cannot find it anymore in manual and it does not work. Maybe I am wrong but would be great if someone could write about this

22.2.7 in the manual. Scouting attacks and hasty attack with >10:1 result, without any enemy remaining adjacent to the attacked hex after battle create 0 combat delay.

Turn 1 has exception on the last rule, all 10:1 hasty attacks give 0 delay that turn.

no, it has to be the direct command for combat support units

Status: offline 		Little question on Support-Units and Support-Level:

Starting a scenario, I want to get all SUs into my Corps-HQs. So I set at the beginning Support-Level of all Corps-HQ to 9 and all other HQs to Support-Level 0.

Now I see after 1 or 2 turns, that construction units did not go down into Corps-HQ and even some other SUs stay at the higher level HQs too. Where is my mistake? Support Level is not locked in game options..

Thanks, have not read that. But what about other SUs like AA-SU which did not move down to Coprs-HQs?

1. I only set the Corps-HQ to support-level 9, all other HQs to 0
2. In the next turn, OKH got about 15 new anti aircraft SUs from down the chain, Artillery and Rockets too

Why didn´t the CUs go down to Corps-HQs, OKH is set to 0?
Why went such a lot SUs up to OKH?

I cannot get into it - very strange. Who can explain it please

..set the support-level

..1 turn later at OKH

If you hover various airbases you'll get a variety of numbers. I counted the engines at Insterburg and the capacity (i.e. 194 used) agrees with the manual. But this "max" number has me flummoxed.

I'm no expert but I have read and tested that in order for SU's to flow down from OKH (once they are there) you need to set the Army Group AND Army HQ's support level to 1 (not zero). If the support level is set to zero then nothing can flow through them. I can't find this info in the manual but I read it either here or on Discord and tested it and I find it is so.

Thanks for this tip - got it! Now it works - I had to set OKW to 0, Armygroup and Army to 1 and Corps HQ to 2-9

Thanks for the quick reply! I was just curious because I haven't played any games at this level. I'm used to concepts of combined arms etc on a squad level, so I was wondering if at the army level I should be working about that. Thanks again for the advice.

Status: offline 		As the soviet player I have some tank divisions sitting on 50 (45) morale, and with decent CV. (see below)

Whereas other of my tank divisions are sitting around on 42 (45) morale with poor CV.

They've all been static and not in combat for similar periods so their CPP is 100.

What are the factors at play that mean some get to 50 morale, and some stay lower?

a) leadership dice rolls - so they could be unlucky
b) low supply
c) fatigue

I'm going by 12.1 in this respect

there are others, but they tend to relate to more extreme situations

Really? For my fliegerkorps and luftflotte commands I've definitely gone past 180 and 480 CPs

Can someone confirm it? And if this is the case, is this wad? I thought this behaviour should just be the case if an hq is locked. I often don't want SU in higher hq but I want to have the automatic function. I use support level 0 a lot.

edit: I have found the following in the (really great) manual:
quote:

21.5.6
If you want to minimize the number of support units in a
HQ unit, but still allow automatic transfer through that HQ
unit? Use a setting of ‘0’ so that the only support units the
computer will send to the HQ will be the permanent levels
of construction and engineers
