Status: offline 		I was wondering what the trade off is for dividing a unit up? The negative effect I think of is this takes a units attack and defense power and diminishes it. So what tactical advantage would one gain outside scouring the countryside with smaller units like a Recon unit.

the up side is you cover more ground - so you can see more, you can convert more to "friendly" thus lessening movement costs next turn for following units, and perhaps you can get 2/3rds of it away if you are trying to disengage.

Status: offline 		There is an additional penalty. This is from 8.2.11 of the manual:

Formations with a large number of divided units are more likely to be forced into Reorganization as a result of combat losses
