Does adding replacements early help your newly recruited units say in the following turns when recruitment becomes and option. Basically does it fill new units more quickly. Also I have been fooling around with the HQ replacements and I can't seem to tell is it necessary to add points to HQ replacements to fill the HQ's that you are started with at the beginning of a campaign.

I have always been under the impression it was the latter of the 2 otherwise a stack would just be referred to as a division. However when reading about medics it said there bonus only applied to the stack it was in not the entire army. Thanks for the help.

However, I do buy replacements for supply wagons which seem to be starving at start-up - often taking 3 or 4 replacements to sate themselves.....and those replacements are among the most expensive, unfortunately.
One other note ... on one of the attrition settings you must be in a fort, depot, or larger town to actually receive the replacements.

Dunno fer sure. Mebbe someone else does.

AFAIK the status of the HQ -- other than still being built/trained - eg. having taken hits -- plays no role in that; it must only exist. I assume that it works that same as supply unit elements that have hits lost. They still carry the same amount of supply as long as the element itself still exists regardless of the number of hits it has lost.
I've never tested nor experienced a 'damaged' HQ working differently than an HQ at 100%, but HQs are the last units to fight in a battle so that happens rarely to never.

I thank you for the sentiment though.
