Or perhaps you get a selection from both force pools
I hope this is the case and not just a new graphic for BG's with elements from other units, something similar to CC4's VetBoB only that the joined unit graphics where on the BG screen and not in the strat map.
if you can join BG's what happens when you separate them? where do the units go?
Anyway, that doesn't worry me much I would like to know more about if they made changes to the scenario editor, I'm hoping that you can make custom single battles and assign Victory Locations, Deployment for both sides, custom force pool for both sides and requisition points! I would be happy with that but probably is just the boring CC5 scenario editor.
I like the sound of some of those options:
"Many new game features including troop point buying system, destructible bridges, ferry and assault river crossings, night-time battles, flare effects, and more!
. . .
Improved Battlegroup management – ability to stack battle groups, ability to merge battle groups, ability for one battlegroup to lend teams to another, ability for battlegroups to move through each other on the strat map."

Battlegroup stacking! Wow, now that really shows you folks were really listening. This seems to be the first re-release that is really going somewhere, bg stacking alone adds a whole new tactical dimension to the entire game. It seems as though it's use is limited but it's a step in the right direction.
If I am reading this article correctly, the author points out that you have incorporated a scenario editor which allows you to create battles/ops/gcs just like you can in CC5 (fixed bg's/forcepools, no points, strat-map, etc) AND create battles/ops like you can in CC3 (choosing maps, points, support, etc), is that the case? If this is not the case, it should be a option you guys look into incorporating into future releases, it makes everyone happy.
And are the "night time effects" really worth it? Can it be disabled? I don't have TLD loaded to check.

Further improvements have been made to the AI from to reduce some of the more inadequate performance issues, in particular with respect to vehicle pathing, the 'crawl of death', and Team and Unit morale and response in general. " Should I start to roll eyes?

Well, i am out of CC world but see this make me feel again the CC itch, even they do "new" maps i expect see the original CC2 maps isnt bad, form were and are great maps but the law of minimal effort used in CC releases...
And cant add more, if the game is under or in 30 euros i buy it but if it is in the "new" 80 euros matrix rule i can say bye bye
I had not seen that before, good find. This is an interesting idea they are implementing:
" a company-sized battle group will only have 6 unit slots available to it as compared to the lead element of a regiment-sized battle group which will have 15 units available to it. If these two battle groups are brought together on one map, the resulting number of units fielded by the combined force will be larger than the size if either one of the companies were on that same map by itself."

I own them all and why they have their faults, I find them to be worth the cost. I've already had great fun with a COI GC.
