On the other hand, engineer brigade increase the maximum movement speed of (most) divisions, but will only result in a real speed increase if all of the "slowest" divisions in the same formation are equipped with them. Some brigades (artillery, anti-tank, anti-aircraft, heavy armor, super-heavy armor) will slow your units down by a large percentage and should not be used in formations which also include faster units. That means that you should not mix totally different unit types (like tanks and foot infantry) within the same formation.Īs a general rule of thumb, each formation should consist of divisions of the same type, like all foot infantry or all mountaineers. Since "movement" is also considered a mission, the entire formation will move at the speed of the slowest division in it.
In HoI2 each formation acts as a monolithic structure in that it shares the same leader and will perform each mission as a single unit. Each formation has a leader, is located in one province and can perform one mission. When examining your troops, you will notice that your army consists of a number of divisions which are organized into "groups" (which will be called formations from here). If you feel something has been left out, feel free to edit this page and add it (if you know the game).
Where obvious changes have occurred, there will be a short note referring to what has changed. That being said, even veterans will eventually find something they didn't know about yet, which makes HoI2 such a great game! This guide has been written for HoI2 Doomsday: Armageddon version 1.3(beta) but it should in essence be valid for all game versions. 2.1.2 Deploying troops from the redeployment poolīeginner's guide to army management Overviewĭon't panic! HoI2 is a complex game but it follows quite simple rules which can be learned in quite a short time.2.1.1 Splitting, merging and moving divisions between formations.Since it happened so consistently, this doesn't feel random. Even though the General is only briefly in the Jungle while embarking, in 5-out-of-5 games, I've had my general get sick as soon as he enters the Jungle province. In order to get to that front line, he automatically passes into the jungle province, and then embarks for Brazil. Once the war started, I assigned the general to a front line order in Brazil. He was there for many weeks, and never got sick. To avoid the sickness event, I placed the entire army in a Forest province next to that port.
The port for Guinea-Bissau is a jungle province. To get them to Brazil ASAP, I stationed the army in the colony state of Guinea-Bissau. In a recent game as Portugal, I was readying an army for an invasion of Brazil. Do you know if those 2% daily chances queue up while adjacent to a jungle province, making the sickness event immediate and automatic if the general's troops later pass through a jungle province?
