ok - thought something was odd with this - but couldn't argue with the manual until I got home to check it .

But now I can confirm that you ARE able to attach one brigade to another - or give regiments from one brigade to another, it doesnt have to be the same commander.

You cant seem to give a brigade from one divisional general to another however, which would be useful. Ill check now if you can give one division from a corps commander to another.

Anyone any idea what csv handles these type of things? Or would it be hard coded...

Edit : Interesting thing I noticed - as you go up the chain of command, the name of the attach regiment changes. As divisional general its attach brigade, as corps its attach division, as army its corps.

Edit 2: You cant combine brigades/regiments across divisions.

How did you do that? I couldn't figure it out, at least in my D v D Sandbox game.

select the brigade commander, then click 'attach regiment' and click on another brigade commander in the same division.

Attaching regiments is trickier, you have to 'detach regiment' which creates a new commander (click a couple of times until he only has one command), then attach that regiment as per step 1.

con20or – you must have the Director’s Cut of this game, due to the fact that none of this stuff is working on my game!

Well, I was wrong, this does work!

This will come in handy when trying to reorganizing different brigades after some heavy fighting!

Hmmm – now I wonder about how many other things are in the game that I’m unaware of!

Great Tip – con20or!

Glad it worked!

Would be even more useful if you could transfer brigades aross divisions, or divisions across corps..

I could not find any csv's that would deal with it, but then i couldnt find either of the two you made for the telescope mod either (assuming they exist somewhere). Where are the csv's hidden? All i can find are loads for the scenarios, and some keyboard ones.

Do you mean the ones from the SDK ?

They are located in the SOWGB \ Work \ SDK

Or, are you referring to something else?
