Do Non Garrison Divisions provide Suppression?

[ohdear]

I know that the garrison divisions are managed “off map”, and get how that works, but do my “on map” divisions also provide suppression?

For example, if I have some spare divisions, can I park them in areas to effectively boost my garrisons’ suppression or is that not how it works?

No you don't need suppression "on map", and parking garrison divisions in specific areas on the map will not boost suppression in those areas. Suppression is exclusively handled off-map via the 'Occupied Territories' interface.

Using high-suppression divisions on map is just a waste of resources.

If you need to defend specific locations, such as ports or victory points, you should deploy divisions based on a high-defense template, not the same template as your counter-resistance, high-suppression off-map garrison.

Hope this answers your questions.

That answers my question perfectly, thank you.

Thanks for answers. So how/where do I use Military Police? Should they only be attached to garrison templates? /J

Yes.

The ideal garrison div, if you have the Army XP to spare to set it up, is 25 horses and an MP attachment. (Or 25 AC and an MP attachment if you are short on manpower but have plenty of IC.)

Yes, for their scaling bonus to the division's suppression rating. The more battalions are in the division, the more suppression the MP support adds.
As illustrated in this table, using MP Level 1:

# of Cavalry Battalions	Division Width	Suppression without MP	Delta without MP	Suppression with MP	Delta with MP
4	8	8		9.6
8	16	16	+8	19.2	+9.6
16	32	32	+16	38.4	+19.2
25	50	50	+18	60	+21.4

Each technology level of MP adds +10% bonus, starting at +20% for MP Level 1 and up to +50% for MP Level 4.

What does Delta mean?

What does Delta mean?

It's the difference between the suppression on the previous line and the suppression on the current line. It's not very useful I reckon. It might have been better to show the difference between the suppression on line 1 and the suppression on the current line.
