mqdn 10 Posted August 11, 2009 Hi, I'm new to Arma, a lot of fun, but too much frustration, especially with the ui controls. I went through the tutorials, but they didn't show me how to put newly created soldiers via barrack/factory into big groups, just like the 3 groups you have in the beginning of mission Badlands (command through high command). In the tutorial, they said you can have up to 60 soldiers in a group, a battalion I believed. Also, how do you merge fresh units into the pre-existing groups, and how to form new group? Tutorial said you can have up to 10 groups. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WarOnDemand 10 Posted August 14, 2009 You can't do this in Badlands, only in the following mission Dogs Of War, FYI. You can do this by buying the units into your squad, selecting them, hitting #0 (then #8 if I remember right) and choosing to transfer units into groups by selecting the army group commander you want to assign them to. You can't build new groups, the AI will call in new ones as you lose a group (depending on mission) but you can resupply forces to current groups and shape them into whatever fighting force you want them to be. EX: All tank, resupply, infantry, AA, air, etc. Also, you can have up to 13-15 groups during singleplayer depending on the actions you take. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
