Construction strength?

[eskuche]

Can someone help me decipher why these units have different construction ability? No movement. Same HQ and STAVKA immediate higher HHQ, very far away. It can't be support levels can it?

[eskuche]

It looks like the maximum organic support in the TOE is nowhere near what's required. Units 2 and 3 also appear to have support from the HQ (49/50, 98%, available, and maybe STAVKA provided the remainder??). But the units' supply values are similar, and according to the manual only supply (and movement, of course) provides construction malus.

I know lack of support on the Soviet side including from HQs is an intended design in the game.

Would be very interested to see the answers on construction!

Terrain? Distance to enemy?

[eskuche]

(2) Town, (1) Town, and (10) City. Clear. Doubt it's distance to enemy as seen here. Moving them closer maintains construction value (assuming it isn't determined at beginning of turn and static.

While we're here, the manual says only up to 50% of construction value is lost to movement. In 12.04, up to 100% can be lost.
