Hello, first thing you need to do is make two new folders in SPWAW, one labelled 'stock oob's', and one 'custom oob's. Copy all the oob files and paste them into the stock folder, and also into the custom folder, now you have your back-ups, and the custom folder to tinker with. Which ever ones you are using from now on, you will copy/paste from either of these, depending on which you prefer!
1)Open Spwawedit,located in the main directory, open the desired oob file in the custom folder by changing directory, or just make a copy in the custom folder of SPWAWEDIT.
2)To make a plt, the first building block, go to formations in the program, find an empty slot, and do the following; make the name of the plt,fill in the date of service to match that of the unit in question. If armor, you need to put armor in the menu slot in the top right, this is where it will be purchsed in the game.Make the unit size plt also top right, leave special flag alone, this is for companies. In the unit slots below, put in the desired amount of tanks, 1 in each slot, using the pull-down box, or enter the unit number directly, then put quantity of '1' in the end of each unit entered. This is your plt.
3)Basicly same for the company, dates, name of company type, fill in company, in top right, and menu to buy from, armor in this case. The flags are tricky, I won't go into it here as there are quite a few, these modify sometimes points in buying, or the way the company co will act, etc. First unit slot, and sometimes two first slots are single units, the company CO, and XO. Then below that are two to three of the plt's you just made, enter the FORMATION number in the first slot, of the plt formation here, and a 1 for quantity at the end of each, although really doesn't matter for companies. BEWARE that with the Finns, in particular, most if not all of the 28 formations per page in the game buy screen might already be filled up, good chance your new units will be off-page, unable to be purchased!! As far as the Maus, and the U.S. Heavy, same applies here as for the Finns, the U.S. will be ok probably, but the unit does not exist on your oob's yet, or does it!? If it is there, just make a section of two for this one to be realistic, same for the Maus, not plts, or companies, but that's your perogative;-) After all the editing you do is complete, save the file and exit the editor, then copy the oob file into the main SPWAW directory to use it, if you play PBEM, you will need to put the oob from the 'stock' folder back into the directory. Just a quick how-to, hope it helps!!

No experience on OOB editing .. needs help (Ja jos o su... - 
for germans at late -45 and that odd US super tank I've heard (95 - something? ) to be added to US tank formations in early -46 ... )
So in simple words how do I do this?
Step by step help would be nice.
Thank you in advance
