Splitting divisions quickly

[Gunnarr]

Sometimes I want to just split every division into brigades, reorganize them by type of unit, and form my OOB that way. Yes I know there is no realistic or historical instance of this, but it is simply easier. I put infantry in one stack, artillery in another, armor in another, mountain in another ect ect. I do this to fix the beginning order of battle, which I just get overwhelmed doing it by trying to keep track of where everything is.

So is there anyway to accomplish this goal, except to dividing a brigade off a division one by one? which takes forever?

I just gave up and downloaded ART

Works pretty well, got it from the mod forum.

But yeah, there is no easy automatic way to do it that I know of

how does that work?? and is there a forum thread for it?? will it allow me to quickly drag out brigades , or is it just visual help?

yea i wish there was a button i could push that would just .. split everyone up

Yeah you can drag and drop Brigades. Its still a pain in the ass when reorganizing everything, you can "explode" Divisions en masse.

There is a button to split one Division into its core components, but still you have to do it one at a time.

There is also an auto build divisions according to a template, but its kinda buggy for me and sometimes just crashes the program.

The thread for this mod is:

Its not perfect, but its much better than doing everything manually. Another cool feature is that you can save name templates for formations per country.

Good luck

Another way is to start in Custom game for the campaign you want and in the start up, simply delete all the units and build them again the way you want them built and deploy them where you want them, then start the game.

Ctrl+left click on the division splitter icon ("create new unit").
