Are all of these HQ's at full strength [10] ?

And that would appear to have been the problem. Chalk one down for "me being dumb" and there not being something wrong with the game, etc. Thanks!

<r> And here's the same, no units or supply.<br/>

<r> Here's the north, supply and units shown. On the left is Rommel's HQ, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why his HQ is getting 8 and nobody else is - I'm using his HQ the same as any other; trying to keep it within 2 squares or so of an intact railhead.<br/>

<r> Same, without supply and units. What is baffling to mere here is that I can't tell what I am doing differently, or what conditions are different, from the point where each HQ was reliably 8 supply as long as I kept it a couple hexes away from an intact railhead.<br/>

<r> OK, second attempt. Here's the situation in the south, supply and units shown.<br/>

<r> 4. Same as last, but no supply or units shown.<br/>

<r> 3. Southern side of front, supply and units shown. This is where the problem is most severe, and none of these HQs have been moved since the period (late '41?) when HQs were all giving 8 supply.<br/>

<r> 2. Same location, roughly, no units.<br/>

<r> I had to resize them and cut out part of the picture to make the 200kb limit. <br/>

1. Northern bit of the front, supply and units shown. <br/>

Unfortunately, I don't have any saves from when the supply situation was better. However, most of the HQs have not moved from ...

<t> I'm absolutely baffled. The manual is no help, and I haven't been able to find anything explaining the situation online. At some point in the spring of 1942, some HQ units (without moving, that had previously been providing supply 8) suddenly had their supply drop by 2 or 3 points. Some have ...

What explains the company-size units with 2 full platoons and a full 7 support units, though?

<t> I'm playing the Good Hunting scenario as the British, about 1/3 of the way in. I've noticed that, contrary to the manual (which states that the size of the unit determines the number of active teams), there's often no rhyme or reason to it. Some battalion-size units deploy more troops than ...

<t> The only one who seems to have any purpose is Goebbels - if you get on his good side, divisions will be getting AP bonuses due to attached propaganda units. It will piss off the army group commander (or maybe Brauchitsch?) but a small enough amount that it usually doesn't matter. <br/>
<br/>
I ...

I'm torn between the one that gives an offensive bonus, and the one that gives half offensive, half APs.

More APs equals more attacks, but if it means more movement, that's more fuel consumption. And pure offensive punch really helps.

Thoughts?

One of those "wow if someone made a game of this I would be happy" is a WWI game where you lay out all your plans, wego style ...

One thing I've noticed is that the AI (normal, at least) places HQs way away from their divisions. Is this different on harder difficulties? Or, I'm playing with fast AI - does it improve if the AI is slower? Because it looks like a lot of their units are more than 5 hexes away.

Tried the "easy mode" - and the extra PPs are nice (admittedly in the regular thing you have way too few of them in my opinion so that most of the "decisions" have to be taken at 0 PP.).<br/>
Oil looks fine in the easy mode truth be told ...

Very good points! Since I play SP exclusively I would really like the option (as German) to give the Soviet more armies later on. Or perhaps an ability to mod it. Agree it's a tough problem, and I'm still enjoying the game.

Bottom line still appears to be the Soviets are "buffed" to compensate for the AI, most visibly in the early turns. They still get full entrenchment and some decent HQ/leader bonuses (although the leader bonus is offset by early turn ...

I won the game in early December, however, the PG4 issues were happening for a few months before that.
