Creating HQ

[Gris]

Reading the manual and on page 181 it states you can create a HQ, but it doesn't state HOW!  So, does anyone know how to create a new HQ?

Maybe only Soviets can create HQ?

Hi Weasel,

Only the Soviets can. Here is how.

Rule 5.1.2.1. Map Information Tab,  5.4.31. Pick Unit Type Window (Soviet Player Only), 12.2.4. Admin Costs for Creating Soviet Units or Forming Soviet Corps Combat Units, & 18.1.2. Creating New Soviet Combat and Headquarters Units

From the manual:

Build Combat or Headquarters Unit (hotkey Shift-B): Used to create new Soviet units (18.1.2). Note that this button will only display for the Soviet player when a light/heavy urban or adjacent hex is selected on the map. Selection of this button will bring up the 'Pick Unit Type' window (5.4.31).

1. Select Urban hex

2. Hit Build Button or Shift-B

3. Select desired unit.

PRO TIP: Stacking does apply. You cannot over stack a hex by building. Most units will enter the game frozen for a turn or in the case of Air bases, several. Air Groups go to the National Reserve. Make sure you have the admin points.

Key point: The B key is for "Buildup", combining two or more units into one, 7.5.3.1. Soviet Buildup and Breakdown Availability, The Shift-B is for Building "New Units". Merge is taking two under strength units and combining them so there MTOE does not exceed 100%. 7.5.3.6. Merging Units.

Hope this helps, See you on the Steppe!
