One more SU related question: So far I've left everything locked and done it myself. When using the automated/support level # method, do you still get charged admin points? I can't imagine it being free, but didn't see it stated one way or the other in the manual, only that "moving them" cost 1 point.

Lock 'em and move 'em: AP cost
Set pull levels at each HQ and walk away to let the AI sort it out: no AP cost.
I find that letting the AI sort it out works fairly well especially since I am not yet sure what I really want to do with the SU. OTOH the Germans get so many AP that if you leave it on automatic you are maxed out by about Turn 10 (depending on how many leaders you swap around). Next time I will leave it on automatic until I get the leaders and the force structure I want and then change to manual control.

one of the more interesting factors of GG's game's are he understands that battle is confusion. or to put it in game terms a die roll. You can save any turn in a game like this and rerun iot a hundred times and it won't come out the same. His games are the best because he factors in the unexpected, the doubt, the possibility that the best laid plan will fail and the hasty throw caution to the wind attack will work much better than you could have hoped for. I just love the guy's games and are the only designer who's games I would buy sight unseen.
