Combined arms army hq? - Weasel - 07-01-2017

Well the manual has exactly one line on this subject: in Nov 41 you can start to build them.  That is nice to know, but what would be better is what is the benefit of it over a standard army HQ?  In the standard I can put all assets I wish; infantry, tanks, and cavalry so why the CAAHQ?

Hi Weasel,

THere are two types of HQ for the Soviets.

CAAHQ and Tank Army. CAAHQ is just another example of different naming conventions in the game. To my knowledge it is a normal army HQ with no restrictions. Rule 12.2.4. Admin Costs for Creating Soviet Units or Forming Soviet Corps Combat Units.

Tank Army has a command capacity of 15 and  a die bonus as follows in the Whats New PDF.

V1.05.59 – January 31, 2012 

6. New Rule – Tank Army leaders get +1 added to their Mechanized rating in combat rolls involving motorized units under their command. 

c. Soviet Tank Army Command Capacity is changed to 15.

I do not believe in my experience there are any restriction on what units you can assign. It my current game I made a CCAHQ and place all Cavalry Corps in it. Stalin does what He wants.

Hope this helps, See you on the Steppe.

Thanks Gris; I knew about the tank army when it comes online, but couldn't find shit about CAAHQ and found nothing on Matrix. Very shocked that the manual was useless!!

Can you Ctl+4 to highlight cav units? It doesn't work for my Steam 1.11, nothing highlights with CTL+

My Crl hotkeys are working in 1.11. Just checked them, they are highlighting in red. Nothing over at the Matrix forum. Did you try to validated your files?


RE: Combined arms army hq? - Weasel - 07-03-2017

No, I will though. Are you using custom fonts? That should not affect anything but who knows.

Fonts, Yes, and a dozen other mods too.


RE: Combined arms army hq? - Weasel - 07-03-2017

I am just using FONT and map mod (rainy day in Russia), plus the flag mod for the unit detail which looks good. Besides the icons mod what else is there?

Well the validate failed, because of the beta it said they were all crap so that didn't help.
I have not seen all those mods, I will google them, thanks.

It should have restore it to 1.09.00 even with the mods. The beta and the mods just guarantee a file download from steam. Did it download any files?

All the mods can be found in the link above.
