Soviet Front and MD HQs

[mmarquo]

Since they do not move, are they of any use? Does anyone attach units to them?

Some of them have activation dates; some MD convert to fronts based on certain conditions.

So far as I can Moscow MD never changes.

Did someone disband them?
What occure then ?  (if it's possible...)

Moscow MD can be used to control the entrenching units there, fort zones, and add in Const bats or RR Brigades, so you can make it sort of useful to get your fortifications up to Level 4.

You cannot disband a frozen unit.

I have read that the Moscow MD is useful for rear-echelon units preparing for Moscow defense.  It provides an extra die-roll for commander rating checks.  But it would require AP to extract them from that command, and now APs are in much more demand for the Soviet in 1941 (and they were never abundant).

I completely ignore the MDs, personally. Their command capacity is just too low and their immobility is annoying. Nor do the Sovs have an excess of first class Front commanders. I'd rather overload an active Front command if it comes down to that and wait for new Fronts to show up.

I'd actually disband the silly things if I could. Failing that, set them to 50% TOE.

Thanks for that advice. I made the mistake of attaching combat units to them unfortunately, so I'll have to pay AP's to convert all the
Army HQ's so attached, to attach them to a mobile Front HQ. I'll need mobility for the HQ's when the front line really gets moving west I
guess. I was wondering what the drawback to using them was and now I know.
