SDI: Split Unit

Brian,

I think you're misunderstanding what a unit is. A UNIT, as defined in DS2,
is a maneuver element of a size determined by your sci-fi setting.
Assuming something close to modern standards, then a tank UNIT would be a
platoon of four to five tanks. You could not split the UNIT (without becoming
disorganized). Of course a modern tank platoon of four tanks actually operates
as two elements of two (not to be confused with a DS2 ELEMENT), so there is
nothing saying you couldn't make your DS2 tank UNITS only two tanks. The only
time you would have a tank UNIT of ten tanks is if you were simulating a very
rigid tactical doctrine (similar to modern Warsaw Pact doctrine).

Hope this helps.
