Here's a quick question about C&C in CM2. When, in CMBO, a squad has lost its appropriate HQ, the only way to regain a proper command over that unit is to bring up a higher level HQ unit, that is, a company or a battalion HQ. The problem that sometimes occur, mostly in operations, is when losses are high enough to call for a major administrative overhaul to reassign units, in order to form more balanced combat teams. My question: have you guys at BTS thought about a way to implement a feature where Platoon HQ could command squads other than their organic ones? I have been given extensive thoughts about that (both historically and game-wise) and think this would be an accurate one. Just to take a few examples, the Ardennes campaign ( mostly for the US Army) saw many such an arrangement, as did the Wehrmacht in Normandy. In any case, I think it would be a factor to take into consideraton in CMII if it prove to be too complex for your current code. I do not want to clog this thread but would like to get your ideas about it. Oh, and while I'm there, tell me you'll put the Brummbär in...? Other than that, I'm a student, I'm poor, and I'm in line for my copy of CMBB.
