How to unfreeze units in the Editor? - 3/25/2021 6:12:29 PM

Hey everybody,

I want to unfreeze some of the German units in the editor ("1941 Campaign"). I've searched for it in the Manual but couldn't find anything on that specific subject.

I have found the option "Freeze Formation" in the Unit Info Dialogue. Clicking on it lets me set the "Turns Formation is Frozen". I have tried to set it to 0 or -1 or leaving it blank.

Unfortunately, the unit Counter still displays 0 MPs...

Any help would be much appreciated!

Looks like some Formations can be unfrozen by aforementioned method and some can't (21.7.). I happened to look on a unit that cannot be unfrozen. Can anybody confirm this?

After you unfreeze the unit like you did, you need to reset the MPs in the commander's report. That should fix your problem. I'm at work at the moment so I can't provide a more detailed response.

Thank you! That did the trick!

He're are the steps to do it, if anyone wonders:

1) open commander's report (Hotkey "c")
2) In the commander's report filter for Unit Name (example "XXXV Corps") (if you don't filter it will affect all selected units' MPs)
3) click on "Editor Functions"
4) here, click "SET UNIT MP"

And oh my god does that neat little feature make our lives easier...

Thanks again, Great_Ajax!

How to increase Air Base size - 3/28/2021 12:46:45 AM

Hey there,

I don't seem to be able to figure out how to increase Air Base size in the Editor.

I have tried setting "Build Air Base" to "aircraft based" and click "Rebuild units" in the Commander's Report's Editor Functions. The Airbase "Gerdauen Air Base" (Size 1) was overloaded with aircraft at the time ("free" slots = -66).

Very much would appreciate any help

Go to the locations tab and you can change the airbase size there.
