3 Rifle brig into Rifle div

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

You have to make sure they are straight rifle brigades, not cadet, naval, ski, or some other named type of brigade.

Do they all have MPs left? Can you post a screen shot of the unit dialog box (over on the right). So that all three brigades are showing. It would help

Oops, sorry, I had not paid attention to the date: oct 1941. IIRC you only can merge in 1942. Too lazy to check the manual [:)]

From section 7.5.3.1 of the manual:
v1.03 Beta 2 - January 21, 2011
Naval Rifle Brigades may be used to create Rifle Corps.
Restricted Soviet Rifle brigades so they can’t merge into Rifle Divisions prior to May-1942.

I did read the manual

7.5.3.1. SOVIET BUILDUP AND BREAKDOWN AVAILABILITY
The Soviet ability to buildup or breakdown units is determined by date and type of unit as
follows:
Rifle Division (22 June 41): Two or more rifle brigades can buildup into a rifle division. Note
that Soviet rifle divisions may not breakdown into brigades. Naval brigades cannot buildup into
divisions. See below for buildup of airborne brigades.

But you have an addon text that differ from manual

TY for the answer though :)

You should have a PDF version of the manual called WITE-Manual-[US_Letter].pdf that contains all the changes.
