i did some more testing.
1. the GHQ's do not release any corps or support units when on the defensive. even when defending against a grand offensive.
the manual ( section 11.3.6 ), says the ghq's can send units to any battle within its range, it doesnt say it can only send units to just offensive battles.
2. in offensive battles the GHQ's do release corps, but do not release any support units such as tanks, arty or storm troopers.
manual section 11.5.8 specifically states that 2 heavy arty units from the GHQ can be deployed anywhere on the western front to intervene in all battles. attack or defence.
my testing did not involve any numbered units, so that is not a factor. and i made sure the GHQ's were in range.
as i mentioned before, in earlier patches GHQ's would release both corps and support units to offensive battles. this changed with the latest patch.
in no patch ive used has GHQ'S released any units at all to defensive battles.
i hope this helps.
i can assure you that all your hard work is appreciated.
