The bug has been discussed here: https://www.coh2.org/replay/104464/close-the-pocket-fail
Close the pocket didn't work twice, possibly because of the map "Whiteball Express", or the urban defense HQ. The territory is not considered cut off although there is clearly no connection to the base.
A side effect that will cause more frequent but less severe problems: the ressources also keep flowing in so the cutoff is strategically meaningless.

Thanks!

I vaguely remember the FWHQ acting like a supply HQ (for lack of a better term), so it's probably that? Especcialy since you said the resources also kept flowing in.

sorry I wasn't able to embed or upload pictures in my answer.

here you can see what the sovjet did on 3 buildings:

and the forward base of the brit:

here are the tactical maps during the 2 close the pockets and in normal state.
close the pocket one looks weird already:

normal tactical map:

close the pocket 2:

in any case, this doesn't make sense to me. Does building a base or hq negate the encirclement doctrine? Is that supposed to happen? and the minimap and tactical map look buggy in both cases.

IIRC FHQ and Opel Blitz like vehicles keep territory connection.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

even if so, the question remains: is close the pocket supposed to fail due to the FHQ? technically you are still encircled. And there are balance considerations.

It attacks disconnected sectors.
FHQ keeps them connected.
I don't see what you don't understand here.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

the fhq doesn't connect the sectors for ressource gain or any other matters and the effect stays after the hq has been destroyed, but i am sure that it still is the soviet fhq that disturbs close the pocket it would be nice if this could be fixed but i suppose that won't happen.

at least the tooltip doesn't say anything about connecting sectors. And I can't find anything different in the forum or the wikis.

Lady Xenarra: @Willy Pete The lack of April Fools this year is odd lol

Willy Pete: @Rosbone not dead yet. when that happens the font will switch to Papyrus

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy
