Are there any special bonuses when units from the same army/corps takes part in a battle?
I heard somewhere that there was some kind of CV bonus/penalty for reserve units when comitting to a battle, based on something having to do with army membership... But I haven't been able to anything about it in the manual.

I know it is important to keep units in range of their Corps HQ for supply and SU commitment - but are there any other benefits from keeping army/corps integrity?

yas far as i know you dont have a negative leadership roll,or a negative penalty when attacking with the same HQ units,its easy to see in the battle report
if you see minus 10% youre propably using units from differen HQ if you use units from 3 different hq it will be -30 % i think

Aha, interesting.
Is that when using units from different corps or only different armies?

I think the penality depends on the command structure:

*Unit from same Corps HQ: no penality
*Unit from other Corps HQ but same Army: -8%
*Unit from other Army but same Army Group: -16%
*Unit from other Army Group: - 36%

One Corps HQ is chosen as battle leader. I think this mechanisms depends on the Leaders quality.
Simply try to avoid large penalities. For example you can shift units between HQs before a very important attack to maximize your results.
