Q: About reinforcements

[Turner]

Splitting a batallion typically gives you 3 companies. Say a Wehrmacht PzGrenadier batallion of 750 men split up into 3 x 250 man companies. Now, if one of these companies are lost, annihilated, can it ever be replaced? At first I was thinking probably not but there is the possibility that if you merge the two remaining companies into batallion strength the game will recognize the missing company as missing and recreate it within the batallion size unit. So that if the batallion is reinforced back into full strength (or above the strength of 2 full companies) it will split up into 3 companies again.

Is that the case or is a unit forever lost when destroyed?
