7.2.3.3 Battalion Groups

The battalions of both armies are automatically divided into 'battalion-groups', each one of which is made up of 2.4 battalions of the same troop type. As it is favourable to have as many as possible, and thus have more flexibility in your battle plan, the battalion groups will be made up of two battalions for small armies and four battalions for large armies. In any case each army will have battalion groups of the same size. These battalion groups are then positioned on the co-ordinates from where they will begin the battle (see 7.2.2.2., p71)

If not enough battalions of a certain type are available to make a battalion group then they will be put together with battalions of a similar type. In this case the combat ratings of the weakest type will be used for the group.

Notes:

Battalions with a headcount lower than 350 will not participate in the battle.
