dunno if this has been raised else where, if so sorry for the repeat.
When dropping a squad into another squad it automatically goes to the top of the list and changes the squad name (see bugrep about this one). A very useful feature would be to be able to specify where in the squad list it goes to, i.e. top, bottom, one down, two down etc.
As an example of the one down using the IG command platoon display and advisors:
- Command Platoon
--- Command Squad
----- Guardsmen
--- Anti-tank squad
--- Fire support squad
adding a commissar would currently place it:
- Commissar <<<<<<<
- Command Platoon
--- Command Squad
----- Guardsmen
--- Anti-tank squad
--- Fire support squad
where it should go to:
- Command Platoon
--- Command Squad
----- Guardsmen
--- Commissar <<<<<<<
--- Anti-tank squad
--- Fire support squad
or ideally:
- Command Platoon
--- Command Squad
----- Guardsmen
----- Commissar <<<<<<<
--- Anti-tank squad
--- Fire support squad
the one down may refer to roster position or unit position within the overall display.
Game mechanics for the example: the advisors (commissars, priests, psykers) are attached to the command squad of the command platoon. A comman platoon deploys independantly on the battlefield, in the example above the anti-tank n fire support could go to different places as could the command squad, however the advisores remain with the command squad. The current squads mechanism doesnt really make this intuitive.
