I wasn't that accurate, front HQs went where two others were too extended, as need dictated, not into their historical place. Once there, they kept their place forever. As did the appearing guard units and armies. This gave every front some stronger formation, on which I could depend to make some gains. I think the only large reorganization I made was in late 1944, where I have removed a front from Hungary to boost Berlin offensive (and reorganized Cavalry Corps into one big fist of four Shock armies).
I understand that but every one has some obsession. Mine is that I can't stand having Front with name referring to geographical location somewhere else. Actually this could be solved by adding possibility to rename it manually. Guess it is more complex than it sound(later scripted Front renaming could mess up things?)
Since I know the Volkov front is going to arive before the blizard , I overload the North-West and Leningrad fronts with 3 fronts worth of divisions (42 each) and transfer them out to newly arived armies .
And it cost you something like 100pp. It is a solution but pp are so needed everywhere.

This makes the choices interesting. If there would be PP for everything, they would be useless.

Agreed, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a middle ground that could take the current command points that the army has into account. Maybe something like 12 base (roughly half of the create new army cost) plus 1 point for every CP that the army has.
An empty army would cost 12 points to transfer and a fully loaded guards or shock army would cost 33. Not looking for a handout - just trying to lessen the odd situation where it costs more points to transfer an army than it would to create a new one?

divisions are transfered out to newly arived armies ...14 from leningrad and 14 from northwest front . For historical flavor I want 2nd shock army part of this front .
I am ok with temporary overloading fronts with divisions (not armies).
THE front level leadership in 1941 is so poor, that I rather be overloaded than lacking troops.
