Not a bad idea.  Thanks


No problem, mate.

After all, the Romans had First Cohort as a special, double-strength unit in the Legion, and I'm sure Lieutenant Colonels started out as 'my chief subordinate whom I trust to take half this unit over there while I stay here.'

How does the assignment priority for Ground Force Commanders work?

For example, my basic GF organization is Battalion->Brigade->Division

My Battalions are less than 5000 tons, Brigades 20k, and Divisions 50-60k

With a Lt Col as my lowest officer, they are assigned to Battalions, Brigadiers are assigned to brigades, and MG's and LtG's to Divisions. 

My question is what do I do with Colonels? I have fewer Colonels than battalions, is there a way to have the assignment priority default Colonels over Lt Col's even though the required rank of a battalion is LTC?



I don't know if ground force formations have a "commander priority" setting like ships do, but it's a good thing to check.

If not, you're only choice is to adjust the minimum rank settings.   Maybe make 'senior battalions' and 'junior battalions'.   If you don't have too many officers, you can manually assign the Colonels and let Aurora handle the rest.

Not a bad idea.  Thanks

Or throw in a Regiment between Battalion and Brigade.  (That is a traditional Colonel billet)

Depends on your traditions, but yes.
