Army Command CP Cost

This may sound odd, but until the most recent patch I had never noticed that army HQs (consisting, as they do, only of a single artillery battery) carry a CP cost of 4. Has this always been the case? Is it logical? That an army commander needs the CP equivalent of a full division of 18 units just to "command" himself and his staff?

As far as I remember it has been the case (but I'm not playing AACW since the beginning).
Is it logical ? I suppose it's a way to simulate the burden of administrating a huge structure as an army.

Happy to see you back Michael

Yes, this cost was always there, to reduce the interest into adding too much reserve into the army stack itself (uber stack)

I see. It's only a real problem when you have armies, but no corps, like in 1861.
