How to Chain Division-Brigade-Battalion in OOB

Post by Sherlock »

The last couple of days as I have gotten more familiar with TacEdit I've been trying to figure out how Microprose and, later, Lead Pursuit could get the ground battalions to aggregate up to brigades which, in turn, aggregate up to divisions. I searched and searched but couldn't find an answer anywhere. So I went to work and at last I think I've found the answer. Here is a short write up I did in my notes:

The secret to chaining divisions to brigades to battalions in the OOB display is that the units must belong to the same team (country) in which they are placed, i.e., if they are sitting on South Korean soil then they must belong to South Korea. Otherwise, they will only aggregate into a Division and will not be expandable in the OOB.

And here is the proof for a campaign I've been messing around with in the Iranian theater:
