Hey Plasma, have a question regarding the Formations and Pick Lists.

I know in the Units tab you can't move or change the actual units without destroying the ability to play existing scenarios with a revised OOB (i.e. An infantry squad in slot #360 MUST remain infantry squad, you can fiddle with the availability dates a bit as long as you're careful not to wind up with M16's in 1951).

I also know the Pick Lists use the information in the Formations tab to decide what to buy for a given battle on X date.

If one already knows they'll have to create a new Pick List for their revised OOB does the actual type and/or order of the formations in the Formation tab matter ?

As I understand it the data in the Formations tab is used only by the Pick Lists when the AI purchases units for a battle, and NEVER by an existing scenario.

So can I totally revise the type and order of the formations in the Formations tab, as long as I provide a new Pick List, without causing problems to existing scenarios ?
Is the slot number sequence in the Formations tab used in any way by the AI to determine what formation to purchase ?
Example : Do infantry platoons have to remain in slots #90, #93, #94, and #95 in the Formations tab or could they be moved to slots #600 thru #603 as long as the the company level formations point to them and the Pick Lists are revised ?
