It is Jan 42. Moscow is surrounded by Rifle Brigades. I would like to turn some of those Rifle Brigades into Rifle Divisions. The manual says to highlight the units in question, then press "b" or press the "build unit" button at the top. When I do nothing happens. What have I done wrong?

Some mergers can only be done after a certain date too?
