Another Command Control Question

[The Real Rake]

Whoa Jason!

Thanks for the update and clarification my friend on Rake's question!

He is playing my scenario so I was a bit concerned.

Have at it Rake! I made that scenario long ago and still very interested in feedback on it good or bad. FYI, I changed my callsign a couple years back from Ivan the Big to Big Ivan.

Hope you enjoy playing it as much as I did making it. Enjoy, Good Luck!!

Regards,
John

Thanks John,

I haven't gotten too far yet.  I'm still trying to sort everybody out, with the various kampfgruppen mixed together and parts of HG Pz Regiment coming in on the "wrong" side of the marsh from the rest of the regiment.  It's a test of my command control.      And, I'm trying to do all this while fighting of what appears to be a probe to my left - I'm afraid it might be more than just a probe.  Reinforcements, particularly the infantry, to KG Lorentz had best hurry  

I tend to like scenarios taking place in Poland and Byelorussia, as opposed to the Ukraine.  It's sort of like fighting in a maze.  I also enjoy these large, combined arms mash-ups.  All in all, that's a good start for me.

I will keep you posted.



Jason,

Thanks for the heads up.  In all my time playing this game, until my re-read of the manual recently, I was unaware that leaders even boosted command range, much less that it didn't happen until the next turn.  BUT, until I moved the leader out of the hex in this most recent turn, that leader had been in the hex with the Battalion HQ for a turn.  

Still, this doesn't answer my main question as to why the Battalion HQ, with or without the presence of a leader, still only has a radius of 5 hexes instead of 7.  It's my fault for posting the question as I did.  I only added the part about the leader as an FYI - I should have put that additional info in another paragraph to clarify my main point.

I just tried starting this scenario without the CC Optional Rule.  The same battalion shows a radius of 8 hexes, as it should.  A restart with Command Control turned ON, and before any units have been moved, shows that the same battalion HQ only has a range of 5 hexes.

So, the question remains, why is the battalion command radius two hexes shorter than it should be according to the CC Optional Rule.  

Thanks in advance,
Mike
