The manual says that divided units have 80% the proficiency of undivided ones and that formations with lot of divided units are more prone to quality check failure. Has this a significant impact? When should I keep my units together? Do you even use the division in 2? I think that units will have 80% the proficiency be it division in 2 or 3, or isn't it?

Status: offline 		Thanks guys. I think I'm reading the wrong articles then. The biggest difficulty is to know which ones are still up to date and which aren't, once, I supposed, there must have been a lot of chances since the first version of the game.
