I tested it once, and it is possible.

To select Alt CV you now have a game option, so any scenario can be played with Alt CV, while the Alt CV scenario is now a copy of the standard campaign.

38. HQs will be resupplied via air drops just like other units, they will no longer accumulate supply and fuel dumps. HQ and attached support units will receive all resources directly.

Wait what? WHY? How on earth am I supposed to use air supply then? I thought the whole point of air supply was to supply corps/army HQs with supply and fuel dumps which are then distributed to attached units. If you can't accumulate dumps in HQs then air supply is effectively rendered utterly useless, since it is practically impossible to supply every unit requiring it by air. This is even worse if you're on the offensive, because a unit that's in captured territory can't use an airbase next to it to receive the supply, meaning you get like 10% of the load to the unit (IE a total waste).

I don't understand why this change was made. I used this feature extensively, it's safe to say I can't imagine playing without it.

Under 1.09.01 you're supplying HQ unit and support units attached to it directly, just like any other units (increasing their supply, ammo and fuel on hand).

Previously you were creating supply and fuel dumps in the HQ, so an empty HQ could be used to ferry them to frontline units for (almost) free. HQ should not affect logistical capacity in this way. They are not supposed to represent transport columns (which are actually represented by vehicles in pool), and circumventing shortage of those in this way.
