<t> Will this really cancel the ill-effects of the "Quickly angered" ability?<br/> An HQ unit, according to the tool-tip, just gives a +1 bonus to command points, while the "Quickly angered" ability gives -4 to command points.<br/> Or do you mean that it will make it possible to demote him to 2 star...

I promoted Stonewall to 3 stars - should never have done that!
He's now got the "Quickly angered" ability which makes him useless as a stack commander.
Is there any way to demote him to 2 stars again?
Or do I have to do without him from now on?

Would love to hear an answer to the OP's question about whether the HQ unit cancels oout other support units.
Would I still benfit from having a Medical or Signal corps unit in my stack - if there is already an HQ support?

Perfect - thanks a lot!

Hi

Does anybody know exactly what the bars on the unit counters on the map shows?
Can't find anything about it in the manual.
I'm talking about the counters you see on the map, denoting units and armies.

How do you guys handle air units during the first winter?
Do they suffer the same as other units?
In that case, I was wondering whether I should just pull them back and leave my infantry without air support for the whole blizzard...

Yes, Walloc has it spot on. Thanks!
It does seem to happen less frequently with high-morale units, so that must be it.
I just have to keep my units' morale high then.
Any other ways than winning battles?

<t> I've noticed that my panzer divs have different movement costs.<br/> Some turns they pay 2 points per clear hex they move, some turns 3 (not talking about terrain differences, of course).<br/> Is there some initiative roll or something made every turn that decides this?<br/> It can't be a leader...

Just want to make sure - there's no point in encircling routed units, right?
They'll slip away no matter what I do...?

Right, no doubt about it then.
I'll go for Riga right away.
Thanks!

Just read the patch notes that after 1.05 it is not possible to use a captured port untill the next turn.
So would you experts out there still find it worthwhile to do the Riga Gambit even though you can't use the port right away?

Very good points here - thanks to both of you.
Have not payed much attention to this until now.
Perhaps Leningrad will fall before christmas now

Hadn't seen the Out of Rng filter - that will come in handy.
Thanks!

Aha, interesting.
Is that when using units from different corps or only different armies?

<t> Having learned how important it is for units to be in range of their corps HQ in this game, I spend a significant amount of time each turn checking for this.<br/> I use the commanders report or click from corps HQ to corps HQ on the map to check for this - but both methods are quite time-consumi...

<t> Are there any special bonuses when units from the same army/corps takes part in a battle?<br/> I heard somewhere that there was some kind of CV bonus/penalty for reserve units when comitting to a battle, based on something having to do with army membership...
