Default Re: question about formation leadership

It appears these formations leaders are corporals leading an MMG section. The HQ units are lead by either 1st or 2nd Lt's

What's up with that? Perhaps an experience issue?
The HQ of a formation is only the zero unit when initially purchased.

If you cross attach units to a platoon, then the HQ can move due the numbers being reassigned.

If you take casualties in a campaign the HQ can move, if it was destroyed in battle.
