formation in supportAttachment
-
A 'formation' value is the number of 'unitTypes' that need to present for this buff is applied. Default is '1'.
If "artillery" has the following supportAttachment:
<!-- artillery Support Attachment --> <attachment name="supportAttachmentArtillery" attachTo="artillery" javaClass="UnitSupportAttachment" type="unitType"> <option name="unitType" value="infantry"/> <option name="faction" value="allied"/> <option name="side" value="offence"/> <option name="dice" value="strength"/> <option name="bonus" value="1"/> <option name="number" value="2"/> <option name="bonusType" value="artillerySupport" count="2"/> <option name="impArtTech" value="false"/> <option name="players" value="German"/> </attachment>Then if Germans have 1 infantry and 1 artillery attacking together the infantry attacks at 3 (1+2) and the artillery attacks at 2 (2+0). If a formation value of 2 was added to the attachment, then the infantry would attack at 1 (1+0). Adding a second infantry would allow 1 infantry to attack at 3 (1+2) the artillery would still attack at 2 (2+0) and the last infantry would attack at 1 (1+0)
Maps like @beelee "Global 40 Expansion UHD Boxes" would use this to form "Army Groups" and "Armor Groups".

P.S How does a unit with a +1 bonus support a single unit twice?
Cheers
