Disbanding/Rebanding?

[phil stanbridge]

Forgive my lack of "technical" knowledge here but one thing I'd like to see in the new release is an option to reform your platoons after an engagement (manually). There's nothing worse than having loads of little clusters of men (perhaps 2 or 3 strong) spread all over the place. Surely platoons/companies that diminished in combat were disbanded and regrouped - is something like this possible? I'mm talking after the battle in a campaign for instance.

The problem is that there is no one way this was done. Really depended on the tactical considerations and what the unit was being asked to do. A badly beaten up platoon that was tasked with rear security, for example, would likely be reorganized differently than a badly beaten up platoon that was expected to take part in a counter attack.

We aren't quite sure how we are going to do this for Campaign play, but we are quite sure that we aren't going to allow this for ingame play.

Thankyou for replying! I understand that it is a major task (one of many) - It would surely be easier for the player to be able to regroup his units in the setup phase than for it to be done automatically by the AI out of turn.

Could the sewer movement option made to work to simulate this ?

Say, give a platoon orders to "sewer move" to this location and then have them reassemble near that location after a period of time.
