That's because it's not there. However, when it comes to
resolving normal shooting attacks (i.e. no Super Heavy Weapons

units, the two are in the same detachment.

The archived Q&As, answered by the game designers, can be
found at:
http://work1.utsi.edu:8000/~amccarle/E40KQA.html
but the new Q&A that was just posted hasn't found it's way there yet.
