Unusable steps in HQ reserves
Posted: Thu Nov 21, 2019 2:57 am
Not a bug, but most likely an oversight: you can find youself with unsuable steps in your HQ reserves because you have no units under that HQ to which it can be assigned, although other units under other HQ could use them.
Example 1: In the Roads to Rome scenario, all US and Free French units are under the US HQ. All Polish, Bristish and Indian units are under the Bristish HQ. In my British HQ reserve, I have an engineer step, won in the previous scenario from a bonus objective. I cannot assign it to any units as it is only for Free French or US units, and there are no such units under the British HQ leadership.
Example 2: Same scenario. In my US HQ reserve, I have 5 British infantery steps waiting for reassignement. In the previous scenario, I had disbanded a few weak British units at the end that were under the US HQ. However, Roads to Rome has none (or maybe only 1). Hence, they cannot be redeployed since I cannot transfer them to the British HQ where several units needed British infantery steps.
A few requests:
1) Allow reserve transfer between HQ in the deployment phase
2) When obtaining specialist steps from bonus objectives, give us the choice of assigning it to a specific HQ. They might well become completely useless otherwise, as in my current example.
3) A pet peeve of mine: whenever I hover over the HQ Reserves or Unit Forces button, the tooltip pops up on top of it, and covers up the available steps
