Garrison units can have police brigade attachments?

Sorry, no mentioning of that in the manual (or the other restrictions I've noticed). Would be sad to have built 20 police brigades for my 20 garrison and not being able to use them

 

[Stonewall]

Yes. They are partisan suppressors extraordinaire. Only problem is that garrisons can't move unless strategic redeploying, so, make good use of them.

 

[GrimReaper]

Yes, they can.

From db\units\divisions\garrison.txt

allowed_brigades =  artillery
allowed_brigades =  anti_tank		
allowed_brigades =  anti_air		
allowed_brigades =  rocket_artillery
#allowed_brigades =  sp_artillery	
#allowed_brigades =  sp_rct_artillery
#allowed_brigades =  tank_destroyer	
#allowed_brigades =  light_armor_brigade
#allowed_brigades =  heavy_armor	
#allowed_brigades =  super_heavy_armor
#allowed_brigades =  armored_car
allowed_brigades =  engineer			
allowed_brigades =  police

EDIT: not fast enough, next time...

I have been thinking... Would putting Police brigades to motorized/cavalry divisions be a good idea?

Don't think they can be attached to cavalry.

Edit: not sure though, would be a good idea if you could see that ingame when "building" units.

Not possible.

Not possible.

Oh well.

 

[Cpack]

Oh well.

not possible doesn`t exist for this game.....

Perhaps I should have said "not possible without modding"

I wonder how these made it into the game anyway ... their historic role is a bit iffy if you ask me ...

I find it weird that brigades are restricted to what divs they can be attached. Surely there should be some doctrinal influence on this.

Question:
Say France gets knocked out completely, i.e. annexed. Let's then assume that the UK and US pull off a successfull D-Day and push the Fascists occupiers out ... will the Allies have to garrison France ? On what parameter does this depend ? Just on whether they're national provinces or not ?

They can release it as a puppet (quite realistic, new France would be fully dependant on the Allies), then remove puppet status and make it fully indenpendent.

 

[Darkrenown]

Yes, they can.

The tooltip for the attach brigade button lists what type of brigades can be attached to the unit.

Thats nice, but it doesn't help when in the planning stage
