Why is Buildup not always an option?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Why is Buildup not always an option?

Post by olorin42 »

Per the manual, an HQ must do the build up thing before it moves. I'm starting my turn and can't figure out why do some HQ's not have the option where others do? I have moved nothing. I'm sure there's another condition that must be met but the manual does not tell what it is. Clearly some HQs meet that condition where others do not. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Not all HQ's are eligible. According to the manual (section 20.6) only Soviet Army and Axis Corps HQ's are eligible.

Also in update 1.04.22 (5/19/2011) a requirement for the HQ to be within 20 MP's of a railhead to be eligible was added.

I knew about the first item above - the second is what is causing my problem. It makes logical sense - it just was not in the manual.

It's on page 289 of the version of the manual that came with 1.06.04.

Its 19 MP not 20.

Unless they fixed that bug for the 100X time and it has stuck.
