    Default [HoI3] HQ's How to use them?

    I have always wondered what HQ's was good for, so when I got stuck in Britain with Rommel's Britannia Korps, I gave the HQ an order. To occupy London,Dover and Birimingham.. And before I knew it, Rommel had conquered half Britain and beaten the brits to stone age.

    I want to hear how you use your HQ's and what orders you typically give.
    And If you have any tricks, share them

    Depends; generally I go micro because the countries I play are inferior than enemy. HQ is good when your army is superior than enemy.

    Attach a mot or a mech, maybe an Sp-art brigade as well, and you have yourself a 6th effective combat division.

    I have yet to let the AI use them - I don't think there's really a need IMO. As with hellheaven, I prefer to micromanage as well.

    I too, micro-manage. HoI is the combat-series in my view. But I still use HQ's and try to keep them in the tiles adjacent to my fighting units. HQ's do have an effect, right?

    Yes, closer to HQ, less supply penalty.

    Not to mention HQ can throw into critical spot when necessary.
