How to break divisions to regiments and still have general officers as CO

Post by Dereck »

I have broken down as many Army and Marine divisions as I could into their regiments. The problem which
arises, however, is that the regiments are considered small ground units instead of large ground units
like the division.

Even though I know it's not required by the way the game works, I want to have a brigadier or major general
in command of the division. If I want to replace the division CO I won't be able to put a general officer
in charge since few are set to command small ground units.

I really don't want to go through all the leaders and change brigadier and major generals to be able to
command small ground units.

Is something like below at all possible?

o 37th Div HQ - MGEN R. Beightler > regiment or an HQ TOE?
o 129th Infantry - COL J.D. Frederick < brigade
o 145th Infantry - < brigade
o 148th Infantry - COL S.A. Baxter < brigade[/font]

I think you're going to run into some limitations in the code even if you changed the database.&nbsp; There are settings for what rank can command what type of unit.

I'm thinking now of something like this:

Change the TOE of the "headquarters" regiment from a division TOE to a regiment TOE and then changing the unit type to "> regiment" so it will be considered a large ground unit (but not grow to the size of a whole division) and I will be able to assign the large ground unit commanders to the regiment.

I don't intend to rebuild the units anyways since I always divided the divisions as it was before I found the division regiments.
