read the updated documentation manual of CMO which is a blast. There is a step by step walkthrough for the Wooden Leg and some other scenarios which I'm doing to get back in. Link to the manual:

The refuelling part is a total mess. I tell the groups to refuel (right click, refuel if possible -> select tankers automatically) when near the tanker and they do it.

I'm extremly confused. I remember posting here regarding a Tanker Wars scenario years ago, which had units without NSM missiles; thus played without teeth against longrange missile boats. Honestly, to this date not knowing why... and what to do except of editing the mission, installing NSM missile racks and including the missiles. I just got to know this thx to an old AAR and a YT vid. I was an hour or two into this scenario when I found out... completely clueless that something was off. In the Wooden Leg scenario... I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a bug.
I excepted the formations to stay together in order to fly this coordinated attack while the sweepers come afterwards.
