I wonder how much of an impact does this really have. I noticed that at the beginning of Barbarossa Army Group Center and South are well over their limits. How serious is this? Should I be concerned about command capacity at all? What strategies have players been using to stay in the limit? Thanks!

Keep your corps and armies at or below their command capacity limit, try to minimize the overload of AG, but you might not be able to completely prevent it. As the Soviets, I'd advise keeping armies assigned to STAVKA if there's no front to attach them to without overloading it. Similarly, you could attach HQ's to OKH as the Axis.

Willie Pete,

Assuming the Majority of your Divisions are attached at Corp HQ's then having Army Groups overloaded isn't much of an issue as you might think. Since an overloaded Army Group is making a roll only if the Corp and Army leader failed.. its already a base 40 roll.. so adding 8 to make it a roll of 1-48 isn't too much of a deal. BUT beware of units attached directly to your Army Group. Being over 8 will make a roll for directly attached CU's very hard.. a simple initiative roll becomes 1-18 instead of 1-10 if your 8 over!
