Soviet Breakdown/Combining

Post by Byzantine1990 »

What is the reasoning for not allowing Soviet units to breakdown/combine?

Soviet doctrine is very well known for having attachments down to the company level. Infantry regiments would have an attached tank battalion that would breakdown into companies and attach to individual battalions.

My personal idea is that breakdown/combining would give the Soviets too much flexibility, making the game results no longer authentic.

I would agree here with Kareil. The Soviets were not and have never been flexible.
