Page 137 in the manual describes how to build divisions from brigads. Did the patch change those rules?

I'm in mars -42 and can still build Cavalry Corps (from Cav. divisions) and Guards (from Airbourne brigades) but cannot build Rifle divisions from brigads.

Any thoughts?

I think the rule about combining Sov brigades into divs was changed, so that you can't do it before May-June 1942.

Correct, that was changed in 1.03 Beta 3.
So Cavalry Corps from Dec '41, Airborne into Guards Rifle from March '42 (IIRC) and Rifle Corps from May '42.

So when can you build a rifle division from 2 or 3 brigades? Also May '42?

Sorry, that was a little vaguely phrased

So to recap:
Cavalry Div -> Corps in 12/41
Airborne Div -> Guards Rifle Corps in 3/42
Tank Brigade -> Tank Corps in 4/42
Rifle Brigade -> Rifle Division in 5/42
Rifle Div/Rifle Brigade -> Rifle Corps in 6/42
Mech/motorized Brigade -> Mech. Corps in 9/42

Again, this is how I read it, so don't be surprised if one of the experts comes in and slaps me for being wrong.

Actually it is airborne brigades that can be built into a Guards Rifle div in 3/42
