Stacking corps with Army

Tue Aug 21, 2007 6:44 am

What is the different between stacking attached Corps with Army and leaving those attached corps individually ? Is there any bonus different ?

and let say I have 2 corps which have inactive commanders , so I just stack them with an Army and the penalty will go away right due to the stack commander now is the active Army Commander and I can safely move them across hostile region without the 35% penalty ?

Later I can split them out for movement /battle as Army cannot initiate battles ...

Am I right here or wrong ...a bit confuse :innocent: :innocent:

Oops now I understand ...by stacking the corps into Army , it just split and become units directly under that Army .. :fleb:

Yup, if you combine the corps stack into the army stack, the corps "disappears"

The turn you re-form the corps, it gets no bonuses from the army commander, also the army can't initiate attacks.

Yes things are much clear now

Why do corps disappear when it stack into Army ? Division does not ?

Because "corps" and "army" are stack formations and therefore mutually exclusive, while "division" is a unit formation.

I have to admit that I'm a bit uncertain what "container" actually is, but if you mean a place you can group units together, then yes.

technically armies, corps, fleets, and divisions are all containers

but divisions are special because they are the only container that can be placed inside another container (armies and corps in this case)
