Rich Hamilton is taunting us

[Volcano Man]

Right, the change essentially means that the smaller brigade HQs can remain in command while they move around while deployed. Its sort of a merging of the PzC and FWWC system for brigade HQs, to provide flexibility to those organizations. This greatly helps the attacker, such as the Germans in F14 and the Russians in early EP14.

That said, in the next title, some particularly clumsy and irregular forces have large strength brigade HQs, intentionally designed that way so they do go out of command when moving tactically -- but the point is there is lots of flexibility here. And one of the things I like to do is take what are otherwise uniformly equipped armies (of infantry, MGs, guns and cavalry), and squeeze as much little detail and special characteristics out of each, to make it feel like they play differently. This is one more change that allows that, by modeling command in different ways (for example: one particular nationality in the next title doesn't have brigade HQs at all, because they historically didn't, which makes them less flexible in command).

The notes will cover this. :)
