Headquarters Support Question

Post by Mark Breed »

Will a Headquarters provide increased likelihood of resupply to units outside its formation if set to other than free cooperation? The manual only indicates that it will do so if set to free cooperation.

Thank you,

It depends on the co-operation level between the unit and the HQ, i.e.:
- Internal support HQs will never boost resupply to units of other formations
- Army support HQs will boost supply to units of other formations with exactly the same icon colour
- Force support HQs will boost supply to units of other formations with the same background icon colour
- Free support HQs will boost supply to all units

It's worth checking- but I assume only one party in this relationship has to have the relevant formation co-operation setting. I.e. an HQ on internal support will boost supply to any unit on Free support.
