Thanks for the help, guys...you made it crystal clear. Now I just have to wait until work is over so I can get home and play! Excellent game, btw.

Hello, this is my first post here, kindly excuse my newbie-ness! I don't quite understand some things about how command and control works although I have read the manual on this topic. Sometimes, I can move a squad away from his original platoon and into the proximity of a different platoon, and he is "in command" from the new HQ. But with some squads, this doesn't seem to apply; they won't adopt command from the closer HQ and instead maintain a long (black) line of command to their old HQ. What's the story behind this? Is it related to the squad, the HQ, or the initial formation? Any way to re-assign platoons on the fly? Also, is it an acceptable/common strategy to significantly alter your platoon makeup before the battle starts (mixing and matching from the given intial platoons), or is it best to leave platoons as they are initially given to you? (for example, one platoon had 4 HMGs and a few mortars...it seemed like too much redundant firepower to keep together in one spot so I spread a few of the HMGS to other platoons and kept the mortars out of harm's way...good idea?) Finally, what's the difference between platoon HQ, company HQ, and battalion HQ? Thanks in advance!!
