Powere Points?

Post by siRkid »

6.9 Staff Experience Repercussion
If you add units to a HQ it will remove a quarter of the experience of the staff. This rule represents that staff experience is not only combat-directing experience but also for a substantial part getting to know their troops and integrating communications and control with them.
Example: The 1st Army has four units of 50 infantry under its command with a total power point value of 200. Current staff experience is 50. We then add another unit to this HQ with 50 infantry. This means that 20% of the staff will lose 25% of its experience.

How can I tell how many Power Points my HQ has?
6.4 Staff
You can station staff in your HQs. This is recommended since a staff level of 100% or more will give optimal bonuses to subordinate units. Troops usually need one Staff Point for every Power Point they are worth.

Can someone tell me what I should be watching here?

Watch the level of combat bonus your staff has.

As your HQ becomes responsible for more and more units, they get stretched pretty thin, and their bonus diminishes.

You have to determine what level of staffing you wish to have---and pay for!

Consider also upgrading your staff to level 2 or higher...you get the benefit of better combat bonuses with fewer staffers.

See image below. Note that the HQ for the selected unit only has 66% of the staff needed to fully support all of the unit under his command. Adding staff to the HQ unit will increase this amount to 100% (I usually try for 120-130%). This will insure that the HQ will provide maximum bonus to units within range.

And if you keep your mouse hovering over the "66%" more information about actual combat and morale bonus will appear in the mouse over text window.
