Chaning attachments

[Ricky B]

Actually, to clarify a bit, although I don't have the details here at work unfortunately. Basically, for all but the Soviets, in the PzC series anyway, the attachment rules work the same - divisions can be reassigned to new corps, that is it (maybe some of the other large ad hoc formations also but I am not aware of this). By playing with the oob structure, Glenn or other scenario designers can make some other things possible, but it is by tweaking the OOB setup for units to be a part of a "division" level structure so it can be reassigned. This may be done with corps level assets, or large brigades assigned to a corps - they are setup as a division so they can be reattached. As far as I know, this is the same for the Axis and western Allies.

The Soviets are treated differently; I believe for them, at least in the earlier year titles, they can reattach corps - don't quote me on that though. So that side can move an entire corps around the various armies.

There may be 1-2 exceptions to the above that I forgot about, but I sure can't think of any. Either way, I don't worry about it, I just open the attachments button when attachments can be made to see what can be attached to what units, then start tweaking what I find to improve my command spans.

In James' example from Minsk, it makes sense from the way Glenn sets these things up - the arty and other corps support units are setup with a "divisional" formation under the corps HQ so they can be reassigned, but the corps HQ is dedicated to the army currently assigned and can't be changed.
