yes. units not adjacent to a cooperating HQ only recieve 66% of the stated supply level. German HQs are able to support everyone else, but none of the minors can support any troops but thier own. I'm not sure what the settings for allied HQs are off the top of my head.

I noticed that when you click on a German HQ no units are highlighted as being in their formation so I assumed they did not give any added supply support. This is good to know.

They are free support so they can help with supply. You will notice units green up faster when they border one of these units.

The HQs are also good for use as ants. Many have 15 movement points and don't contain much in the way of equipment. This makes them light so it won't hurt your shipping much and also makes them expendable.

Use them also for artillery support. I've been mauled a few times by HQs dug in behind enemy infantry.
