New Player - questions

[jcrohio]

Have a couple of questions

1) Stacking - I have read the rules but still am not sure about stacking -
A) In my last game I had an attack from three armies in three different regions - at the end of the Grand Offense (Capreotto scenario) the Central Powers won and advance all three armies into the same hex - I thought that was not supposed to happen as armies cannot stack together
B) In the next reinforcement phase one of the armies only contained two corps but I was unable to reinforce it - I know it has something to do with stacking (when I clicked of the stacking limitations I could then reinforce) but it still did not make sense as I was able to reinforce another army in that same hex that contained more units

2) Combat - in the above mentioned Grand Offense a couple of things happended that confused me
A) It was a big battle - both flanks involved - at times I could not move units from either the reserve or the rear to one of the flanks - in the next round I usually could
B) In the following breakthrough it moved detachments from all three armies - is there any control as to what gets moved into the break through hex?
C) two of the generals were picked to lead the attacks - one on each flank - is there any way I can tell what army that general is leading? and does that make a differnce into what units get put into which flank?
D) I wanted to counterattack (in a different battle than above - I was on the defense) but the button never would light up up - any ideas?
E) The grand offense mentioned above was already planned when the scenario started - when you went to the grand offense screen three armies were shown - were these the three armies originally chosen for the attack? - if so one of the three could not get to the combat region in one turn - I choose another army to attack

All for now - sure there will be more
Thanks
Jack

Howdy,

More than one Army can attack a single region, but they cannot stack in this region after battle.

However, at most six Corps (plus the Reserves) may participate in any given battle. In certain types of terrain this decreases to 4 or even 2 Corps.

Thanks Drakken
But they are stacked in the same region after battle - all three of them - what you have above is what I thought would happen - but instead all three armies moved in to the same region

Are you sure these are three HQs, and not three Detachment stacks rom different Armies?

Detachments can stack, but HQs shouldn't. If they do, you may want to send the save game here to calvinus.

Just replayed the scenario again - Caporetto - all three Austrian armies attacked Caporetto and all three are stacked there - two detachemnts moved to the breakout region
