Soviet HQ Building

[cookie monster]

At what date can I build a Soviet HQ.

I cannot find this in the manual. Plus forum search function didnt work.

Page 313 lists two HQs which can be buit.

Page 244 only says that HQs & CUs can be built.

So the question is at what date can I build a HQ?

My current game date is Jan 43.

Thanks

You'll be able to build them once the patch is out.

Also from what i hear you won't need to build them anyway since you get a metric crap ton of them. I'm at turn 16 and i have more hq's then i need right now by probably 8.

Yes, with the exception of Tank Army HQs. You'll want to be able to built them ASAP.

If these HQs existed in real life, I want them [:)] Humm, soon or late you will need them. Think about the Command Points. The more HQs = the more units you can command. Right now on my game (mere turn 8) some of my fronts (if not all) are overloaded (I know there is a solution: the Armies which are arriving). On 1943 these HQs will not be irrelevant, I suspect. And even if they were chrome (which I very much doubt) I would want them anyway, I'm a history freak.

If you like to stuff armies to their limits, you'll have more HQs than you know what to do with by early 42. I personally am disbanding HQs by the middle of 42, and keep maybe a half dozen uncommitted ones at most.

Sovs don't have enough quality leaders to go around, and running around with a bunch of half filled armies means you're using a lot of trash generals. And disbanding excess armies frees up a lot of manpower, send those REMFs to the front.

I stick to history: incompetent people are part of the events, although wargamers want to have a fictitious, perfect world (impossible task in the real world). Gimme all those HQs [:D]

But of course I play for FUN. Win or lose, it's not my goal [:)]

In the new beta patch v103 in the members section you can now build Combined Arms and Tank HQ's.

They cost 25 AP each.

I have yet to build one, I will probably streamline my static lines Command and Control first to free up Army HQ's.

You'll want to build the tank armies at least, as your mobile forces allow.
