How do I place a Forward HQ?
I can't seem to create a forward HQ on any buildings with the Urban Defence Commander. It says in the description that you can convert any 'ambient building' to a forward HQ, but so far I haven't found a building that is eligible. To be fair I've only tried it on a forrested map that had a handful of small wooden huts. Do they not count as ambient buildings? Is there a trick to this?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Well the trick is that you´ll have to capture the building with a unit first.

Just station one inside the desired building and click on it with the ability. After that you can take the occupying unit out of the building again and the HQ will still be there.

no certain large buildings only. You diffinately want to deploy on Buildings with lots of windows and high HP pool. Certainly you dont want your Foward HQ to be destroyed in a few mortar hits.

Certainly you cant be expecting to use URBAN Defence doctrine in the WOODS

I think ShodaN lives here...
Crossing in the woods buildings are bugged. You cant build a FHQ on this map. Sad really.
