Construction units

[IRDCAM]

Why are they so uncooperative. Still learning the game, and these units fail to respond and stay inplace even when with their local HQ unit or a combat unit with them. What am I doing wrong here? Was going great till railline repair slowed me to a crawl, and 'no' way to repair the railines.

Construction battalions are sent out automatically from their assigned HQ unit at the start of the turn and return to that HQ at the end of the turn. CB units will not go to damaged rail hexes that are within 5 hexes of an enemy unit.

Since corps HQ units tend to move a lot, I'd suggest attaching about 10 CB units to each of your RHQ (security HQ) and army HQ units then place those HQ units within 5 hexes of rail hexes you want repaired.

Auto attachment of construction support units tends to limit # of CUs attached to each HQ level based on table 7.6.3.3 in the Manual. See 14,2,2 for max distances each HQ level can drploy its assigned construction support units.

Under your control, you should have your Army Group RR repair units (one in AGN, two in AGC, and two in AGS if I remember correctly.) Treat them like the golden units they are, and it will help out your game. Good luck.
