You get no bonus for the HQ, unless you upgrade it. The point
of HQ is that all units have to be within 30cm of their detachent HQ
at the start of each turn, to be able to move or fire during that turn.
If you don't land your HQ in the first wave troops transported by
Thunderhawks they be out of command the next turn. See adove for
the effect of being out of command. The troops who are off board
and are unaffected by their HQ being more 30cm away from them, see
page 46 of the rules.
