how simulate HQ

Unread postby nikdav » Sat Dec 15, 2012 9:51 am

I think it would be usefull to had a German and a Soviet Officer (rigid cap) to simulate HQ ,
i am working in a full front scenario " Ost Front mid July 1943 " and i feel the lack of dedicated HQ icon.

Well, I'm not sure how it would be simulated in Unity of Command, but I used to frequently play Hearts of Iron 2, which did feature HQ units. In HoI2, the HQ unit would confer combat bonuses to units that were either in the same province or in a province directly adjacent to the HQ. It would definitely need some playtesting to ensure it didn't unbalance the game.

I have been playing around with using reduced strength units to represent headquarters / rear area troops. For example taking a German security or Luftwaffe division, reducing it to 1 or 2 steps and labeling it as a headquarters. Not the most elegant solution but it does put the unit on the map.
