HQ and Command Ranges

[Mr Grumpy]

In France 1914, for example, a German Divisional HQ has a command range of six. The German Division also has three subordinate brigade HQ with ranges of 4. As a result, a 1914 era German infantry division with four HQ can cover out to a distance of ten hexes and be in command. In HPS France 1914 the scale is 1 km per hex.

I have personally not come across any subordinate brigade HQ's in F14 with a four hex command range, all the ones i have played with have a three hex range, so a typical division can cover a nine hex spread and stay in command.

I don't play the modern titles, but i am aware that there was a school of thought that rated the command/control and initiative of a typical Soviet 1985 division as very poor, of course as there was no NATO/ Soviet clash we shall never know for sure. :)

The answer to this will be the varying values that different designers decide best fit the title they are designing, as the various designers don't work from a single chart, we are bound to see areas in which the values in different titles don't match up, i know VM works very hard to make sure all the values from the various titles he has created or the _Alt scenarios he has edited all tie up, but in doing that i doubt he would alter his values to tie in with other designers work?
