Whats happened to the LMG

[bryanmaguire]

Ok, I buy a commando platoon as the British. When I go to assign them as special forces in the editor I can only assogn the four squads, but not the platoon Bren LMG. Apologies if this has been raised before.

[Voriax]

My guess is that the commando squads are classed as special forces but the Bren LMG is not. You can test this via oob editor. You could then create a new special forces lmg squad and replace the old one with it. (formation menu in the editor)

I thought that the "special" field on the unit decided whether a unit was special forces or not. The commando plt unit has a "special" value of 11. Does this not make the whole platoon a special forces unit, or does it just depend on the weapon class of each individual unit?

[Wild Bill]

It appears to be each individual unit, Bryan. They are given a special classification, unit by unit...Or so I have been told...WB

NO the unit must be classed "Special Forces" or "Partisan" to be able to infiltrate. The special code 1 designates a unit as a "recon" unit and 10 means it is "elite" (ie gets a +10 morale/experience bonus)

Hopefully I don't have that backwards
