I have a question related to the HQ's and their hierarchy.

How much unit can I put under command of each HQ level (Theatre HQ 3 star HQ etc.)? How many is the best to go with? Is there any limit on that?
 
Usually I put 5 divisions into a corp, 5 corps into an army, and 5 army's into an Army group.

Dunno if that answers your question in any way, but that's how I do it.

A Theater can control unlimited number of divisions.

It's also worth noting that while you can put:
5 Divisions in a Corps
5 Corps in an Army
5 Armies in an Army Group
Unlimited Army Groups in a Theater

Where you get all advantages of using a proper chain of command:

http://www.paradoxian.org/hoi3wiki/Leader_traits

...You can skip some if it's needed and attach say an Army directly to the Theater. This can be useful sometimes if your Army goes out of the Radio range of the Army Group (AG), but is still in range of the Theater.
If you leave them attached to the AG, you won't get the bonuses from the traits of the AG and Theater. If however you detach your Army from the AG and attach directly to the Theater you will get the Theater leader bonus. ;)

Hope this was more information than you asked for! :p
 
Worth mentioning that it's good to have Army Group even if you have only one army. A skilled Army Group commander can reduce supply usage of all units under him (so your whole army) by up to 25% + give them bonus from logistics wizard trait. That's also where you should attach your ships and airplanes.
 
How many Theatre HQs can you have (XXXXXX)? I am playing as the
USA and I only have one. It seems that is all that I can have because
I have tried to get more but no go. This is a game that was started
back in the 1.1c patch. I now have the 1.2 patch and if I start a new
game I get 2. What I want is 3 or 4. Is that possible?????

The AI will automatically create new Theaters based on the wars you are engaged in. That said, I've never played the USA so I'm not sure how it actually works in game.
 
It's July 1945 and I am at war with 9 countries. I just can't get more than
1 HQ (XXXXXX). Is there a way to mod the save file to get more????

(I am aware that this thread is older than 5 month. However, )

I wish to convey thank you :) for verifying thst that the number of units per Theater HQ is unlimited!

Is it still correct that air and sea units may be added above the max number 5, for the rest HQ-Levels?

I'm answering this before I report it...

Yes, air and naval units are handled without regard to the HQ limit at any level.

And holy cow dude, you reopened a thread from 2009?! That's the Necro to end all Necros.
