Goober Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 Can someone please tell me how I can change a squads command to another leader. having problems with this. Manual says to click unit once with left mouse using shift key. Trouble is how do I then get it to come under new leader.

General Petrovsky Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 Goober, I don't think you can put a squad under C&C of another platoon leader. You can use Company Commanders on any squad or any other unit to put them under C&C, but platoon HQ's can only command their original squads.

Clay Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 If I understand you correctly, I don't think you can actually do this. A squad can't be reassigned to another platoon HQ. If its HQ is out of contact (or out of commission), your only hope is to have a Division HQ. A leaderless squad will automatically fall under the leadership of a Division HQ, if within command range. As for weapon squads, they are under the command of the nearest HQ (assuming again the latter is within command range). Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 Sorry, I meant COMPANY HQ, not Division . Anyway, I think Petrovsky and I agree on the basic priniciples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty's Double Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 Yup yup yup. Only thing worth adding is that support weapons, even those bought as part of a platoon, will always take command from the nearest HQ. I fink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 Yep yep yep to all the above. An additional little note that confused me for a while: A squad that is out of C&C of it's own platoon commander (but the commander is still alive) will still show a black 'out of C&C' line to said platoon commander even if C&C for that unit has been taken over by a nearby company commander. If you click on the company commander, you will see a red line to the squad, showing that it is in C&C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 And watch bunching your commanders ... nothing is more annoying than finding that your mortar teams are under the wrong commander (ie the one without the crucial LOS). It ruins your day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
