Splitting units?

[Scallywag]

There are no rules saying you cant divide your units. Most people I play divide thier units at some time or another. In modern warfare units are spread out farther to cover more ground. They are used to protect flanks&rear, screen assaults and withdrawls, recon, also as roadbumps to slow down enemy offensives.
Some negatives to dividing units are they are weaker. They can get wiped out easily. Cut off easily. Harder to supply, because they are spread out and you might not be able to keep HQ unit adjacent to unit. There is some aurgument that if you divide, then recombine, the unit is weaker then before. I have never noticed this though.
In my humble opinion you cant be successful in this game unless you divide your units sometimes.
