What Determines # of HQs

[Southerner]

What is it exactly that sets the number of HQ units that are available for the player to develop?

Some games I have more than I can possibly use. In the game I'm playing now they are as scarce as hens' teeth. I'm even thinking of sending in R.E. Lee as a corp commander because turn after turn no HQ unit is becoming available in the support reinforcement section.

I'm wondering if it just a roll of the dice or maybe some formula that sets the number that become available.

The HQ are added by event, via the ChangeUnitPool command, so it can be modded.

Well that certainly explains it. Thanks. Don't like it much but I can live with it...


Don't see any real need to "mod" it up to more numerous HQ availability though. Managing scarce resources to overcome obstacles is much of the game's appeal , at least for me.


I just wanted to know what I was up against exactly. I've read all through the references....I just didn't recall seeing that specific reference. Guess I should have rechecked first...

If the number is changed, what happens is an announcement of a HQ being available, but it will not show up in the Reinforcement Pool box. I would not advise anyone to change these numbers if they are playing either of the 1861 2-theatre scenarios.

One has only to make sure that the scenario does not start with more HQ on the map than in the force pool, and this will not happen.
