HQ providing mor supply than expected

[AshFall]

That is not the case. The only thing that has changed between the larger picture and the smaller is that the NW HQ (popov) has moved one square north. Both HQs are at 0 base supply in the small picture, and provide 3.

Which is why it is odd to me that Popov in the large picture gives the northern HQ 5 supply (allowing to provide 8) since he himself only gets 1 supply.

Looks like I missed one of the lines in the VERSION NOTES for the v1.17.00 release:

- Source HQs of a supply boost to another HQ now only need to have a supply value > 0 in order to provide a boost, previously it was 3.

That explains it, thank you!

This just may be wishful thinking on my part, but I would like to see the HQs derive their supply levels from resting ADJACENT to the respective supply sources rather than occupying them outright; the current supply level rules as is. I am certain this would be more realistic and is sure to alleviate some of the current supply--HQ misgivings.
Do we really need to discuss the realism here...key objectives were not defended by HQ units.
