How are you supposed to use fake Divisions?

[Riekopo]

So I don't understand how you're supposed to use the fake Divisions created by the Operation. They're only useful if the enemy doesn't know they're fake. How do you keep them from finding out they're fake? Where are you supposed to put them? How long do they last? The game explains nothing.

Hmm, if you know that the enemy has superior intel thus will find out that your units are fake:
- place real units in the same location as your fake units
- enemy player assumes they are fake and your attack will happen somewhere else...

I wonder if such double deception would work.

Alternatively, if you bunch them up on one part of your line, the enemy might shift forces on its line to defend against them, thus weakening another part of its line allowing you to possibly get a breakthrough there. This has worked for me several times.

I assume this has no effect on the Ai?

Yeah, I'd like to know how the AI reacts to those too.
