Here is a Stalingrad 42 question

[Glenn Saunders]

For as long as I have played PzC, the issue of release is still murky. I do not know why in some cases the entire formation will release simply if one unit is spotted, and in other cases, the release is only very piecemeal even if units of a formation are fired upon.

Marquo:

Help from the Release dialog may help clear this up for you.

"The Release Dialog displays a list of the Fixed unit releases in the current scenario. Each release shows a time, date, probability that the release will occur on that time and date, and the organization the release applies to. When the probability is followed by the letter T, it indicates that the release can also be triggered whenever a unit in the specified organization becomes Spotted."

So when units are spotted they are released. But when the formation is triggered - then spotting one unit of the formation releases the entire formation, which is why I didn't use the TRIGGER Flag on the two Soviet Armies that brought on this discussion.

Nor did I do a number of smaller releases for sub units of the formation because a) this was not a place where I expected action in the early going, b) to do the releases that way could have introduced new problems and c) adding many releases could be potenially confusing in the command report.
