How does it work? I can only see a small section in Ch15 about it needing to be within 2 hexes. does anyone have a better link or advice? Can i call in RT strikes alone before troop attack etc etc. It seems very abstracted.
Thanks

There are two types in the game, off map support units and the few German artillery brigades.

Off map units should be allocated to the corps HQs, they will then be assigned to combat involving the units of that corps where they will inflict a lot of damage on the enemy. The German on map units need to be manually assigned to an attack -are only really useful if you are attacking and that is not something the Germans often do

I believe they need to be within five hexes, not two. Am I wrong on this?

The on map units can attack as if they are adjacent from 2 hexes away (a bombardment attack if attacking by themselves). Support units can be called into a battle from a HQ within 5 hexes.

And this is done automatically if your counter is within 5 hexes (off map -5 hex and on map -2)....It just happens yes, no specific commands apart the german units mentioned
Many thanks.
