DavidFields Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 So, when making a QB, I took a Soviet Battalion, deleted everything but a squad and a company HQ--which is as small as I could get. When I launch the QB, I have one unit. It has 12 soldiers. It is lead by Captain Reshetnikov, who, I think, has a pistol. The unit is listed as a platoon HQ. The platoon can be split. Is this WAD? It is perfect for my purposes, and if it represents a design decision, no doubt based on technical info, I want say....very impressive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a pltn hq with 12 men and can be split. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidFields Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Interestingly, when I chose "split" for the squad, the HQ splits out, also, so I have 3 units. There are some very subtle design/coding decisions here. [ahem...the more I look at CM2 at the "micro" level, the more I appreciate the intense work put into it.] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spawncaptain Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Wait, you can seperate the higher level HQ element from a squad by using the split command? Don't think the manual mentioned that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Wait, you can seperate the higher level HQ element from a squad by using the split command? Don't think the manual mentioned that. Not really. This is unique to the Soviet Type 44 rifle battalion, which has no HQ element, just a platoon leader. BFC does not like 1-man HQs, so the PL is part of the 1st squad, and the 1st squad is flagged as the HQ. If you split the squad into teams, the A team with the PL in it remains flagged as the HQ. It is not, however, a separate platoon HQ as it still includes part of the 1st squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
