OK question for you C&C on experts.

Problem: I'd have one tank and one infantry unit with one leader each. I'd like to cross attach them so that one tank can go with the infantry and take its orders from the infantry leader and replace it with one infantry squad in the tank platoon.

Question: During the deployment phase can I attach forces and have this occur during the battle?

Any pros or cons concerning this type of cross attaching versus keeping units "pure" and just having the whole tank and infantry platoons stay together?

I'm going to put this in the unity of command and other sections in the SPWAW Tactics guide I'm writing.

I have played with C&C on and off. With C&C on always by an extra FO so you don't run out of orders. It's bad enough to have guns out of communications but to add to that a lack of orders to call in fire.

As for cross attaching, I have found that buying a section of AT guns and a section of tow vehicals then cross attaching give great flexability. You end up with two units each consisting of a gun and a transport.

The only problem with cross attaching is you have to remember to leave at the least one vehical/man in each unit so you do not lose the unit because there is no one attached to it.

It would be nice if you could keep empty units for latter assigment.
