HQ build up for German armies?

[juv95hrn]

The 2013 manual states:

"Only Soviet Army and Axis Corps HQ units that have not moved during the current turn may use the Supply Buildup function. Eligible HQ units will have a BUILDUP button on their unit detail screen (5.4.16). Pressing the BUILDUP button will trigger an immediate resupply of the HQ unit and its eligible attached units."

The option for HQ build up for German Panzer groups and Soviet corps (and even for Soviet Fronts) is highligted in my game. Has there been a change which allows other HQs to do this since then? Or are these highlighted options not giving any effect when pressed? They subtract prestige in any case.

I hope it works since it would be strange that an option appears but it has no effect...

Thanks for clarifying...

You can have regular combat units assigned to armies or army groups (many scenarios has this setup). If such combat unit operates within 5 hexes of its HQ, it (the HQ) works for that unit as a regular (tactical) HQ. So it's logical it may order a Hq Build Up. Bear in mind it works only for combat units directly attached to that HQ, support units attached to that HQ and its combat units and the HQ unit itself (just like for corps HQs). Doing a build up at army level doesn't mean every subordinated corps does a build up too. This was introduced in 1.08.

Thank you. This clarifies a lot. You can now build up at all levels but only the ones directly attached are affected. Copy that.
