Playing action cards

This may seem obvious, but I just discovered this. Action cards can be played by the HQ's to their subordinate units, so I check the HQ what action cards it has available, what the situation on the frontline is, and where the subordinate units are ---> I do this by checking the coloured bar on the unit, right? HQ with a green bar has subordinate green bar units.
But, as is obvious as it's stated, the action cards can be played to any subordinate unit, meaning the HQ's higher in the echelon can use their actioncards for any subordinate unit too. But they *can* have different coloured bars. You can check that easily by checking out the OOB, or press "F4".

My point, highlight all subordinate units when you're clicking on a HQ. For the HQ bonus ofcourse, but also to make it easy to see which units you can play a card on, even if they have a different coloured bar.

Hm, maybe this should be in the wish list.

This true, the higher the HQ the more units it can affect.

So II Corps HQ can only play cards on divisions in IICorps.

4th Army HQ can play cards on any division in all the Corps in that Army.

Army Group North HQ can play cards on any division in all the Corps in all the Armies in that Group.

OKH HQ can play cards on any division since it is the highest HQ.

That's cool I didn't notice that in my small scenario.

I really like the netherland's flooding card that changed the map, great feature.
