I want to play the game while controlling just 1 HQ , is it possible ?

I mean I dont want to bother to create new unit, manage replacement and all the logistic. I just want to play a corps general and let the cpu/AI manage all the other aspect of the war. Is this possible ?

I tried to put all other HQ on AI control , but I guess I still have to handle some other game aspect, like production , right ?

Thanks to help me <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

The computer by default handles all production, upgrades, etc. Also, there is no new unit production, all units are created in the scenario setup and arrive when set. You can do exactly as you would like, except I don't think you can control just one corps, unless you want to let the AI control everything, but you issue plot/movement orders to a specific corps before executing the turn. I hope this answers your question.

It might work, I'm not sure. An AI controlled HQ will make its own corps if its given divisions to work with, but I don't know if higher HQs would interfere with the player's HQ or not. I also don't know if the AI would give your HQ assignments or just leave you alone.

What I do know is playing one HQ and letting an idiot run the rest will fast become a frustrating and unenjoyable game.

Yep , but war isn't a frustrating occupation at the time ? Also I think that having an idiot supervisinig and making all the global decision will be really roleplaying <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> ( in the 2 side <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> )

All in all , as I gather the answers...

As I understand it wont work really well cause the destroyed army wont be replaced.
In Short I need to play 1 corps and the full replacement logistic ?
