Attacking from across the map is certainly not realistic, I agree. But only allow aircraft to support the units of the HQ they are placed in isn't realistic either, I think. At least for the german side, the airforce was organized in "Luftflotten". Each Army Group had its own Luftflotte, commanded by a Luftflottenkommando (with own staff, logistics etc.). Because of this command structure and to remain "realistic", it must be allowed to attack a hex from different HQs, as long as the involved army HQs belong to the same Army Group. Restricting that would IMO be similar to propose that Korps of different armies are not allowed to attack the same hex together.Originally posted by Die Kriegerin
The answer is that air units have to support troops from thier HQ's, or spend the time to transfer them. I agree, and I've done it, enemy intercepetion doesn't occur so I send bombers from across the map to aid in an attack???? Realistic? NO!
