What are the advantages? - Iwo Jim - 08-03-2008 I'm not sure I understand the concept of cross ataching independent units to a company CO........say if I purchase an infantry company and then a platoon of tanks what is gained by cross attaching that platoon of tanks to the infantry company CO? :dunno: RE: What are the advantages? - Walrus - 08-03-2008 Hi A squad / unit can be rallied by itself, it's platoon commander, it's company commander and finally by the HQ. If you attach independent platoons to company commanders, they gain an extra level of rally. That's really the crux of it IMO. Be careful not to attach too many ptns to any given commander. I am sure others will have a more in depth answer. Good luck Walrus RE: What are the advantages? - Iwo Jim - 08-03-2008 Oops I meant to post this in the SP General Forum.....maybe someone can move it for me.....thx Walrus RE: What are the advantages? - Walrus - 08-04-2008 HI Roger that. Moved. Cheers Walrus RE: What are the advantages? - ROMMEL_HSQ - 08-04-2008 I haven't played for a long time, but for large battles, you might run out of formations (max 100 in SPWAW?). and attaching platoons and sections can be useful here.
