A FEW QUESTION

[gladiatt]

Thanks for these [:)]

Does anyone knows how to change the HHQ of a Naval HQ ? I have 3 of them in ports in England, preping for Overlord, but the HHQ line is not blue (thus, can not be change).
Are these Naval HQ sticked to AFHQ ?

[soeren01]

As far as i know it is not possible to change the HQ of an Naval HQ.

[Joel Billings]

You can't change the naval HQs. My guess is the programmers deactivated any impact of the HQ on the support naval guns in the unit, which would be the only possible item that would be impacted by the distance to the HQ. So just ignore the HQ of the naval units.

could someone explain me why on the first turn i always suffer 30 VP Penalties of losses ?
Each time i start a campaign, theses losses appear. They are mainly véhicules but i can't understand why this occur ?

I must precise that there was no ground action on first turn : no landing in Sicily or anywhere, a few move of troops in North Africa to get closer to ports.

So, can someone explain why these damned VP losses occur ?
I say damned, because to get from -35 VP to 0 it take me at least 10 turns [:o]

The game immediately counts the losses in the disabled pool. We put losses in the pool at the start to prime the pump for manpower returns.

It is frustrating but in balancing VPs we take that initial hit into consideration.

That brings up a question I have had. At the end of the ground turn in the campaign game, the ground losses screen pops up. Normally I have 7,000 to 9,000 in losses of men in the "Current Turn" column. This happens even if I have not been involved in any battles and haven't been attacked by any Germans. My question is, is this attrition? If so, is it normal? Or do I need to do something different? It seems high to me.
Thanks

yes its attrition. Its hard to avoid as it represents both behind the lines accidents and losses from low intensity combat.

You can control the latter (a bit) by not keeping units in contact at the end of the turn unless you really need to. Problem is there is usually a good reason to do this but if you are well dug in on a quiet sector you could try to reduce your front line and rely more on reserve reaction if the enemy does attack.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense.
