Hello Pete

The main function of CO and HQ units seems to be to command on-table units, but there are several instances where they are allowed to order off-table units as well, for example:

1. Attack Helicopters
2. Helicopter Assault
3. Artillery/Air Support if the Fire Support rule applies

Hope I'm right so far!

So how does this work? Are the orders issued at the time as to the on-table units (i.e. in the same Command Roll) or are they ordered separately? And if separately does failure on a Command Roll for off-table units end the CO/HQ's turn and prevent them ordering on-table units?

No, its a separte order, so failing is the same as if you failed ordering an on table unit.

Thanks Dave

So effectively ordering off-table and on-table units with a CO/HQ is like them being separate formations - so if you fail with one then that's it, but if you pass you can issue orders to the other "formation" starting at your base CV. Is that right?

Thanks again

Yeah

Great Dave, thank you!
