Hello...

Keep your command HQs close to the units they are commanding without unduly exposing those same HQ units and you will find less overall disruption. While an HQ can have a large command radius, that does not mean the uni needs to remain at the extent of that range from the action. Sending the local HQ close to the flash point of the fight to better control the subordinate units (in attack or defense) is a good use of your HQs. Not every point on the line is critical. The player needs to focus his HQs where he thinks they are needed the most.

Hey...I've been working on improving my game by trying to minimize the effects of enemy electronic warfare. This renders HQs "Out-of- Command" with the resultant reduction in their morale (and therefore their ability to help their units recover from disruption) and exposes otherwise hidden HQ's vulnerable to air and arty attack.

The User manual says:

"SIGINT detects enemy HQ at (hex coordinates). This allows you to detect an enemy HQ that would otherwise not be visible to you. The HQ unit is shown as an Unknown unit on the map. You can detect enemy HQ units that are within twice their command range from one of your units.
• Enemy jamming affects HQ at (hex coordinates). This alerts you to the fact that one of your HQ units is being jammed by the enemy’s Electronic Warfare. An HQ unit that is jammed becomes Out of Command. You can jam enemy HQ units that are within their command range from one of your units."

Since both of these negative effects result from being "close" to the enemy, how do you handle this? Do you keep the HQs close to the action and hope the potential electronic warfare effects are minimal? Or?

My comments were from PzC and not MC. I should have specified that I suppose. I do not play MC. It appears the electronic warfare aspect changes the optimal HQ distance from the troops at the front. Hopefully the MC HQs have a greater command radius than those in PzC which would alleviate this problem somewhat.
