If its only a 2-3 Corps, I would shuffle them off 1 to each Army near by.  Panzer Armies are a good choice to take a Corps unless you have already over loaded them. Split up the divisions and send them to Corps that short a division.

That is what I did but now several of my armies and army groups exceed the command capacity. Do people begin to attach reserve/refitting units to OKH? Should you ever allow army groups to command combat (front line) corps? Any other thoughts.

Lesson learned!

I feel the same way about the splitting of Army Group South into Army Group A and B. It "feels" like the axis should get a one turn AP bump to deal with this administrative reshuffle.
