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.

Tank and Mech Corps Fun!
