Thanks, Vic ...

If you click on the HQ name on the unit you want to know where its HQ is, it will take you to it.

I didn't know that, thanks!

At the beginning of a turn, I'm getting messages that my various leaders are leveling up. However, when I look at them on the map they are all still at level 0. I'm playing a new dawn random game. What is going on here?

No, there isn't. However it is not hard to calculate or see the effect of the HQ distance.<br/>
<br/>
Each HQ commands 100% effectively in a range of 3 hexes. For each hex beyond those, the effect of the HQ decreases 20%, until it ...

Is there any kind of overlay that shows the range of HQs like there is for supply?

I have the same issue. It seems like the AI can out produce me (on normal AI). I can't ever get enough units to cover the front well enough to hold off their attacks. If I produce large enough stacks of units, they just out flank me.

I'll play. I'm pretty inexperienced though. Go ahead and set up the game and PM me the drop box link.

If your HQ is within its normal range of support

Can someone please explain what this means? I'm still trying to learn this game.

OK, thanks. So there is no negative penalty for having more staff than the officer's staff rating.

ORIGINAL: Webizen
the commander can only directly influence (add bonuses to) that many staff.

Thanks for the helpful link. I didn't see anything there related to the commanders though. What bonuses do commanders add to staff?

<t> I tried looking through the documentation but was unable to find anything discussing the commander staff limit. When I create a new HQ + commander, often times the commander's staff limit is something very low. An example of this is in my current game, a commander I just created has a staff ...

I understand about the front line vs rear area. Are you saying that in a unit of mortars that don't have any infantry in the unit, the mortars are on the front line even if there is another infantry unit in the hex just not in the same unit as the mortars?

defensive wise it matters where and how your units are built due to the way the attacks work, each individual unit sft has a preferred attack sft or sfts.

Can you explain a little more? I'm not ...

If I'm understanding how combat works correctly, other than the extra PP for multiple units, there is no difference between 15 rife in one unit and 5 MG in another unit on the same hex or having both the rifle and MG in the same unit. Am I understanding things correctly?

For some reason, when I capture an enemy city, I can only product PP or resources. Can someone explain how I can start producing other units with them?

Thanks,

Yes. Especially since I had mountains, rivers, and swamps to deal with if I wanted to expand south. My first four turns were building nothing but supplies and engineers.

Join the club. I've got very rough terrain, rivers, and swamps to my south and thick forest to my north. Its going to be slow going for a while.

You're up Scott
