Gang of Thousands,
Did it. After a lot of trial and error, General R. E. Lee commands only the Army of Northern Virginia, not every Brigade, Batteriy and Guardhouse detachment there-in. The balance of the army is commanded by General Joe Everybody, generic General #2.
DaV,
You were right, but I had to change all the GFX codes and the Original name in the units/model csv, not the units/global csv.
Thanks Jim,
Stared at that manual fro quite a while before it clicked.

Hey, I'm glad that you asked about the SDK - I think that I am still using the files from the first copy, and not the updated ones!

Naw!, you know how I like to play a very modded game, that slows the men down to a crawl, and of course increase the firing distance to 350 yards, but turn around and give the battlefield a very strong defensive bonus!Brother,
Great to hear from you. Will we be seeing you on the MP Battlefield soon?

The only true logic is that, there is no true logic!

DaV,
Right. Changing the name in the OOB will not do anything. It has to be done in the units/model csv.
Yes, it is in the mods folder, like you said, Mods/Scenarios/logistics. Then activate it in the Modifcations section like any other mod. No, Jim was very emfatic in stating you cannot change things in the original csvs as it will disrupt MP.
Good to hear from you again,
