Command capacity

[Numdydar]

So in '41 German HQ's have a command capacity of 8. As each division counts as 2 capacity, the most any corp HQ can have is 8 without being considered overburdened. Support units do not count against this total capacity.

When you click on a HQ unit on the map, is this capacity shown on the graphic detail on the right? When you right click to get all the details I still do not see it anywhere. So what I have been doing is look at the subordinate list and seeing how many divisions are in the HQ. If more than 4, then I move the excess. But this gets pretty old pretty fast [:@]

The only other way is to click on a unit, go into the detail screen, and click on the HQ to reassign the unit to a different HQ. This works better but I cannot see the HQ that the unit already belongs to so here I have no idea if the units needs reassigning or not [:@]


I know I must be missing something obvious, so if anyone can point out what it is, I would be very happy [:)]

Don't click on any units.

Run your cursor over the HQ it shows how many units are attached.

Just make sure you have switched things off like factory locations etc.

No wonder I could not find it anywhere [:D]. I would have thought something as important as this would actually be on a detail screen somewhere. It is not like there is not room on the detailed unit screen when you right click.

Thanks for the assist.

Also the unit box (on the right) for given HQ shows max and used capacity

Agreed, that important information should show on the HQ details screen. Like command capacity, command points available, etc.

What i do now is when i choose a division to assign it to a HQ, at least it shows me the HQs in range and the number of units attached.

It should be noted running over the HQ to look how many units are attached, is just a hint at what is going on especially with the Soviets.

As it doesn't differentiate regiments from brigades or Divisions.

[morvael]

But the number in the unit box does show it.

[micheljq]

Ok, ok, when i move the cursor on a HQ, I see CU3, SU0, MP25, SP0.

The numbers beside the armor icon, on the HQ, example 6:8, is it the attached units/command capacity?

[morvael]

Look at these numbers in the unit box, you don't have to look at the tooltip, which indeed shows the number of attached combat (CU) and support units (SU):

[Huw Jones]

Thanks Morvael.

[micheljq]

Thank you for your patience Morvael.

It would have been really nice to have this diagramed in the manual. Maybe something like this that graphically shows exactly what everything on the display means for each unit type. This is from WiF manual for those that are wondering [:)]

[micheljq]

Oh i recognize WiF, i am an old timer.
