How does one add more than 24 divisions now?

How do I add more than 24 divisions to an Army/Field Marshall now with the new update?

Thank You...

[Tasteless]

Well you can always add more than 24 but to gain the maximum benefit it's best to organize as Field Marshalls with multiple Generals each with 24 divisons. You can have Multiple Field Marshalls! Also if you set a general to garrison duty the cap is 70ish divisions.

ignore the guy above me, you just have to install the mod on the steam workshop that gets rid of that stupid arbitrary limit.

ignore this dude the first guy is right, your field marshals and generals at max level can command 210 units, standard they can command 120 i think. if you want to garrison unit's you can have up to 72 units under a general. as for this dude, please tell me how it's abitrary, you try to setup the logistics, command structure, communications and divisional organization in general of 120 divisions with 1 general lol

ok they just decided on 24 units arbitrarily without any reason. using garrison orders doesn't help him and will only drastically increase the amount of micromanaging he has to do. level has nothing to do with the amount of generals a field marshall can command and doesn't determine how many divisions a general can control. Are you getting your information from outdated Dev Diaries instead of playing the game yourself?

P.S. If you honestly truly believe that this game accurately represents every aspect of World War 2 including the command structure, logistics, and everything else you said; then you have issues or at least a poor understanding of history.

ok, Field Marshals can still command 120 divisons, just make another field marshal if that isn't enough

Thank you, yep I saw that. Okay I'm gonna have to get used to the new way but thus far I like being able field a 5 general army under a Field Marshall as its more realistic. I noticed the AI is a bit harder than it used to be which I like a lot. I am bogged down in West Russia and my man power is getttttinnggg lowwwww. lol

Thanks again..

stop attacking, just fortify while you wait, get fresh reinforcements to the line along with equipment, build lots of planes btw

I am new, and I do not understand well how to do that yet :(

[masterdelvin1]

field marshals can command 5 generals (7 if they have the trait). Generals can command 24 divisions. 30 if they have the trait and on garrison, 72 and with the trait 90.

So with the traits for both the Field Marshal and General. A non-Garrison group will have;

FM - 7 armies @ 210 divisons
Generals - 30 Divisions.

As a Garrison;

GM-7 armies @ 630 divisions
Generals - 90 divisions.

Without the traits FM - 5 armies and Generals 24 divisions for a total of 120 Divisions.

Does jacksh*t, fieldmarshals dont increase how many units your general can lead.

[ProgramTheta]

It makes a lot more sense to have an actual command structure for your armies rather than just throwing everything under one field marshal personally commanding 2 million men down to the divisional level.

You're lucky it's not worse, IRL there were something like 40 German Generals who were trapped in the Stalingrad pocket alone. 5 people can't command an entire army group.

No but it does increase the number of divisions you can manage with a single click as you group several generals under the one field marshal. So instead of needing to plan out separate orders for each general you can just put them under a field marshal and do it all with one order which is effectively the same thing.
