Welcome Aboard!Nutmegger wrote:I can form armies. I can form corps. But forming divisions has eluded me.
I can see the button about authorizing a commander to be the head of a division. I press the button. But after that, nothing much seems to happen. How do you create the division HQs needed to put together divisions?
I'm very happy with the game, but I really could use some new divisions. Thanks for your help.

2. Immediately use the CTRL and + buttons to fill the division with elements. Do that immediately, because the new division will disappear at the end of the turn if you don't.
That's it.

No, but if You "disband" and form a new one with the same leader in the same turn, You don't pay any additional costs...Nutmegger wrote:Follow-up question. Now that I've formed the divisions.
Is there any way to "amend" a division once it is formed, other than dis-assembling it and paying to re-assemble it?

Good question. I believe he should not be eligible for corps command as long as he is commanding his own division, but I've seen screenshots where a division commander with higher seniority was made commander of a new formed corps over the head of another lower seniority ** in the same stack without a division...Gresbeck wrote:But the promoted leader is not eligible to command a corps if he's the leader of the division, or has the system changed since the suppression of div HQ? (sorry, I recently completed an old campaign under the old rule of div HQ, and I've just begun to play under the new rules).

His old division elements are now sitting within the corp, and can be assigned to other divisions or left as corp assets - your choice.
I have never seen a division commander retain his division command AND be allowed to command the corp as well. Good luck...
