F 40 Command Structure

[Liquid_Sky]

The only HQ you have to worry about when it comes to rallying the troops is the HQ of the unit. If the Battalion is within range of the HQ, you will get a chance to rally. If it is outside of this range, then there is a 50-50 chance that it will get a chance to rally. The other HQ's up the chain of command do not matter. What they do matter for, is whether your HQ will be in command itself. An HQ within range of its parent HQ will get two chances to avoid going OUT OF COMMAND. There may be some other small benefits, bonuses to resupply and such, but the simple rule of thumb to observe is keep your units in command range of their HQ.

When you play the Russians, it is practically impossible to keep all the HQ's in proper range. The French are probably similar.

Note that for supply checks, a unit is checked to see if it is in command from its HQ, by checking its distance with the HQ, between 100% at range 0 to 50% at max range (and scaled in between). If you are outside of your HQ's command, you will automatically fail and go low ammo/low fuel.

There are some other subtlties to the system to note....A corp HQ will probably have assets such as artillery, which can assist any of the divisions of that corp. An army/front could have the same. As well, you can usually hand those assets off to another corp under corp attachments.
