F 14 command question

[jonnymacbrown]

There is nothing special here for the Germans, they should be same in that regard. As to why you might be seeing those odds (not sure how you are keeping track of all that), well, the odds depend on several things, most importantly, the distance of the unit to its parent HQ. At the bottom level, that is, brigade HQs undisrupting the infantry battalions, it should be equal (all things considering) because the link to the division, corps, and OHL does not matter in this regard AFAIK. Where it does matter is with supply.

The difference between 25% and 30% in your example could very well be due to luck or the distances between the HQ units and the infantry units. I would recommend reading the section on HQs to know the exact details about it though (in case I am remembering it incorrectly).

Doesn't the Brigade HQ give only a "1" boost in the "die roll" if it passes its command check? If all the requisite commanders, from Joffre' down to Brigade pass the command roll then the re-order should be automatic (+5 in addition to the innate 1 chance the unit has to re-order). If the link to division, corps and army doesn't matter, why do they have command ranges and why should we bother to keep anyone in command? :conf:
