Regiments with rebel causes

[Antiochus_Soter]

Just noticed that quite a few of my regiments are part of a rebel movement. I am Spain and I have a lot of units that are Anarcho Liberals, 1 unit that is a Cuban Nationalist and 1 that is a Communist. Most of them are in Cuba.

what will happen if I disband these units? will that start a rebellion? What if I just send them down to Equatorial Guinea? They would be stranded down there right?

When a rebellion starts what will happen to my armies that have these rebel regiments? will they split into 2 armies and start fighting each other?

I suppose from now on I should only be recruiting from Spain to minimize getting Nationalist seperatists. But with the Nationalists I already have can I just disband them? That seems too easy....

If you disband them, the POPs will rejoin the rest of the same culture/religion soldier POPs in the province (well, they actually never left, but now they won't be organised into a military unit if they rebel). This will not cause a rebellion or anything. You can send them anywhere else, and they'll still be as likely to rebel as near their home, as they're part of a rebel movement.

In the end, it hardly matters if you keep them or not. It's better for your score to keep them, but if you're sending good, obedient Spanish troops to put down any rebellions, you shouldn't have a problem dispatching them.

You can put those rebellious units in the first wave of your next war, so they take more losses than your loyal units (and then you can disband the depleted unit). That's one way of reducing rebellion and actually get some mileage out of it.
