Splitting infantry

[Soldier]

Yeah, thanks for moving us here! :-)

There is one more instance where splitting a squad is practically a must. And this is the last one that I can think off, etc.
That being the rare and not so often used, "Follow Vehicle" order.
Here an infantry squad is given an order to move out (unlike in hide and ambush) after an enemy vehicle, even if vehicle is on the move and attack it with it's AT weaponry. The enemy vehicle must be within a 50 meter range, for that order to take effect.
Point being, this is the one situation where your infantry will be exposed to the extreme.
So again, it is better to sacrifice a half squad vs a whole one.. :-)
