Units with nation number 0 in US OOB

[HcK]

So I noticed some units in the US OOB (12) having a Nation number of '0' (that's zero) instead of the expected '12'.

Does the Nation number zero have some special significance, or does the Nation number have no effect in the game?

If this isn't just one of those features that has been around since whenever and I just didn't know about, then I'll be giving more specific examples when I get access to the game again.

Those are units that have been pulled for some reason most probably.

The advantage to doing that is that you still have a template unit existing in any scenario using them so you then don't have to search through looking for orphans with a bad graphic.

So these are deleted units - but not yet fully gone.

Also - some formations may be nation 0, but used as subordinates to larger lumps, those are "part" formations for some complex items, not made available for human purchase.

Let's get Units and Formations straight first.

There are NO nation zero UNITS in the US OOB and if you had thought to provide an example that would have been clear. The only nation zero UNITS in the US OOB are blank spaces

There are however a number of nation zero FORMATIONS and those are designed to be used by larger formations but not be available individually, and yes we've been doing that for 15+ years but if there were nation zero units in that OOB Andys explanation applies but there is only one re-nationalized unit in the US OOB and that's set to nation 99 and I've left it in only because I don't need the space ATM

Well duh! It was indeed formations and not units that had '0' for a nation. Thanks for the explanation anyhow.
