I'd suggest landing an additional HQ....their effects are cumulative up to a point.

I did not know this...care to elaborate? Do they need to be command or corp HQ or will any old additional HQ do?

Another important HQ type essential for AmphibAssault is the US "Amphibious" HQ. Load that on it's command ship and ensure it's present in the invasion hex when you land. It helps reduce landing disablements and gives you more workable AV from the get go.

does that mean I load the Amphibious HQ on some APs and just let it sit in the ships in the same hex? I don´t have to unload it with the invasion troops?

No, the Amphibious Command HQ can only be loaded onto an AGC to be used as a HQ bonus vehicle. The AGC on the same token can only load 1 x Amphib HQ such as the V Amphibious Force LCU in the Marianas scenerio.

These HQ's do not require unloading, you sit the HQ loaded on the ACG in a TF at the invasion site and they lend support to the landings.

the HQ bonus to AV is separate from prep points so it works in non base hexes as well as base hexes. PP's also increase the LCU's effectivenes and PP's from both an HQ and the LCU itself will help modify the AV as will leader stats.

Thanks Nik.[&o]

So the HQ echelon requirement will give a bonus to every LCU combat within it's command radius, even in non-base combat?

[Nikademus]

Yes.

[Halsey]

Thanks for the definitive answer.

Sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get one.[;)][:D]

[Dino]

Well, let me try pulling another tooth...Are you guys saying that having multiple CORPS HQs in a hex provides cumulative bonus to AV?

[Nikademus]

up to a point, yes.
