I have returned after quite a break to building a scenario for NGP with 1 (BR) Corps facing 3 Shock Army. OOB and map is done. I am now placing troops and testing; but have hit a small snag ...
The original plan for 1 (BR) Corps was to have two Armd Recce Regts (Corps Troops) forward of the front divisions. They would engage the 1st echelon, mainly with artillery, allowing 1 and 4 Armd Div to dig for their lives. Both the Corps and Div Arty would support them. When I try to call fire from the Div Arty I am told they are not a subordinate unit.
How do I allow the Recce Regts to call fire for the Div Arty without embedding them in the Divisions or having to wait for a midnight turn to make Corps attachments?
