U can also break your divisions down to regiments (3 units) by pressing b. If u need to spread units around a pocket.

Status: offline 		Dang I tried creating several pockets in my 1941 scenario game and was excited to capture thousands of men, but when I ended the turn and began the next one, the AI had broken out of all but one pocket :/ any advice for making pockets tight enough that they don't break out?

Well it is about supply, converted hexes etc so try and push the front line away from the pocket so if one of your units is dislodged the enemy is still isolated
