Officer Command points Maximum????

Post by Octavian »

To make use of the command points of officers properly we MUST know, what is the maximum number they can get, in order to not waste any points when they exceeded their maximum. (Remember: they get a fixed rate of CP´s added every turn)
BUT: where can I find information about their maximum. Every single bullet is traced in this game, but something as important as that I simply can´t find. Am I overlooking it?

AFAIK there is no maximum CP officer can have. I never accumulated them much anyway ;-) What matters is how many officer can get every turn. Use officer tab to see it.

There is no such thing as a historically accurate strategy game. Every game stops being accurate from the very first move player make. The first unit that moves ahistorically, first battle with non-historical results, means we ride into the unknown.

Maybe that is the point. But in all other DCseries games, they had a maximum of around 24 or so.
So you had to look at every officer in every round in order to not waste CPs.
Still would appreciate a word from Nikdav or Vic about this..

So maybe that is the point. Thanks!
But in ALL other DC games there was a maximum, like say 24 CPs and it was important to notice that.
So I still would like to see an informed answer about that point..

Many of my officers have just 24. But others have 36 and some 48

It's a matter of conversion rate + how much they get every turn. If +2 then max 24. Peiper is +4, that's 48 max.

This makes perfect sense and is a good hint! Thanks.
Still I feel there should be a proper description on this important issue in the manual.
