Attaching Rangers/Commandos to Amphib HQs

I don't know if I did something wrong.

I'm prepping the TF 545(c) Amphib HQ to transport the US 34th Infantry Division.

I want to attach the 6615 US Ranger Force Rgt to the Amphib HQ. I've attached it but it is still a physical unit on the map and not "off the map" like some British commando units are in another Amphib HQ.

Did I do something wrong and how do I rectify it?

No - It's because it's a multirole unit - stack it with the HQ and in the Unit Detail Screen click CONVERT.

Reverse of this. I have some commando's on a Amphib HQ and want to get them off. My HQ is in port with one other unit. How can I get one of the two commando's out that are attached to the HQ and onto the map? I don't see a Convert button on the commando's unit detail screen as I expected.

If this is a Special Service Bde you need all 3 elements attached to the Amph HQ for it to convert as only the whole Bde can CONVERT back onto the map.

These are those independent Royal commando units (40th, 41th) attached to TF545 in the Med. at the start of the 43 campaign.

They are 'pure' SUs so can never appear on the map.

On a related issue, but from the other perspective, are the Italian X Commando units (4 battalions)supposed to be a multirole unit? And do they survive the Italian surrender (in real life they went over to the Germans)?

Yep got it and expected you to say that after I thought about it. Thanks. They are not the special Amphib HQ type units then that will appear on the map but just a SU that the HQ will try and use in battles..
