Any chance you could make this a mod for the less confident among us.
The logic behind it not being a Mod is that it might interfere with other Mods, so I try to only Mod my own files.

But, if you would post "Your" drills, unitglobal, and the OOB that you play all the time, I could alter those files which might avoid any conflicts. Also, explain what you want them to do pertaining to which army.

Post them here, and I will try alter them, within the week.

OK, let's go in a different direction.

Are you playing the default game?

Or, are you playing with "Reb's" Flag Mod?

OK, Thanks!
I will Download it and look at the files to see if changing it won't mess up anything.

It probably won't be until one of the weekends.

@roy64 - OK, I have downloaded "Reb's" latest version XVIII Flag Mod.

It's probably going to take me a while to experiment with this to make sure that there are no conflicts.

It's amazing how good some of his flags look, I have been playing with the ones that I did years ago.

Hopefully, I will find the time to experiment with this soon, I sort of jumped ship and started playing another game several months ago.

@roy64 - Question - have you ever edited an "OOB" - if the Commanding Officer has a "1" in a slot, and this has to be changed to an "8" can you change that?

Basically, the Mod will add additional units to the Commander Only, but in order for this to work, that number has to be changed.

The Mod that "Reb" has done has a lot of different "OOB's" so you would have to manually change them.

Is this do-able?

I haven't seen a post from "Reb" lately, "Reb" you still out there?

@roy64
Test this out and give your feedback on it, sort of a quick Mod.

Called "Staff"

I use different Sprites form "Pom" so mine might look different than this one, only using the default sprites to avoid any conflicts .

The OOB in the example is called "OOB_SB_Antietam_Staff"

So you have to choose that OOB in order for this to work!

The Commanding Officer had 3 sprites & looked ok, I had a quick sandbox battle with no problems.
