HQ question

[FLG]

In the Manual it is saying "Headquarters units that have been eliminated are eligible to be restored on a subsequent turn."

Is there any penalties the side suffer except that a new HQ being disrupted the turn it is restored? Were the amount of people coming from for a new HQ, from regular units?

Because if it is not a big deal to lose 100 HQ men, you can throw your HQs to front lines and draw enemy's fire, and then get another 100 men from the air, and then do it again?

Tell me, please, that I am missing something :conf:

The chance of a HQ returning is based on the quality of the unit. A low quality HQ (E or F) can take a long time to return.

The HQ personnel are assumed to come from the second echelon troops rather than the combat troops. As the second echelon troops aren't represented in the game there is no loss in man power in the game.

Loosing a HQ can be very serious, especially divisional or regimental HQ's. If your troops become disrupted, broken or low on fuel and/or ammo they are unlikely to recover without a HQ being in range. Loosing a HQ can be very debilitating and can swiftly, within a few turns, lead to a unit loosing much of its combat power. Especially if you pass the midnight turn when the daily fuel check is done.

On top of that, sacrificing a HQ in the front line is a gamey move. It certainly wasn't normal practice for any nation in WWII
