Command Capacity - where to find?

Post by Bismarck2761 »

Newbie here: Is there an easy want to determine if a particular Corps or Army HQ is close to or over its command capacity?

Thx.

The 2 numbers next to the tank symbol on the right of the HQ nato icon. Left number is used cp. XXX BRCorp has used 7 of 10 command points.

Really appreciated! What do the two numbers next to the parent HQ mean? E.g., for XXX Corps, it has (0/15).

Sorry to ask!

That's the distance from it's parent Hq.... so 0/15 means it's in the same hex as it's superior Hq.

Next post explains it much better![:D]

Second number in 0/15 is the max range it can be from it's parent HQ and still receive all the command benefits. The first number is how far it is from it's parent; in this case, ZERO, since they are in the same hex.

8th Army HQ appears to be 32 hexes away from 15th Army Group HQ; once it is more than 45 away, it no longer receives any command benefit from 15th AG HQ

Hope that helps
