I have been putting support units in Army HQs because I assumed that Engineers, Doctors, Balloonists, Signalers and Marines contributed their special talents to All UNITS (corps) commanded by the Army HQ, even if they are NOT stacked with the Army HQ, and not just the HQ itself.

However, I think now that these support units are only supplying their talents to units that are in the same "stack" with the Army HQ -- is this the purpose of the "option" to have all subordinate corps end thier turn in the same region as the Army HQ?

Clarification please! Whom do support units in an Army HQ affect with their special abilities?

thanks,

As far as I know just the stack they are in, so the HQ and any corps in that stack.

Attached corpses need their own engineers etc.

Engineers, field hospitals, etc. operate at stack level. Placing them in the Army HQ stack will only affect units in that stack, not the corps in the army (which must be a separate stack)

There are very few abilities which apply to all corps in a entire army. There are some leader attributes which will apply to "all stacks in the region", but only if the commander is the most senior in the entire region, and it has nothing to do with whether those stacks are corps or indepdent stacks. Calvarymen is one of those, I believe.

Thanks for the help.

I shall now use specialists more agressviely to support units anticipating combat. For example, a doctor to accompmany a planned corps level attack or a marine for a corps level attack or quick movement over a river.

As US Grant is supposed to have said -- this is an excellent thought, it should reduce my recent problems with excess corpses!
