Soviet Mountain Corps question

[pejsek]

Can the Soviet player form a mountain corps from 3 mountain divisions ?

There is such a corps in the 1944 GC and there is OOB for it but it is not mentioned in the manual.

Good question...

I've never been able to create a mountain corps at any point in the game through 1943. I suspect this unit is scenario only, but would love the ability.

You can't make airborne corps, either.

The manual says airborne corps are available in 1943.

[Flaviusx]

Guards airborne divisions are available in 1943.

Not with the current game code.

Not with the current game code.

Will it be possible in the patch ?

[Helpless]

Will it be possible in the patch ?

Theoretically yes, but is there any Mountain Divisions left when the Corps unit is available?

[pejsek]

Yes, 3 or 4 have survived till 6/42. Against the AI on Normal difficulty.

D'oh; I got confused.  Never mind what I said.
