Hey,
just started Barbarossa DCG's for both Germans and Russians with the 1.03 patch. I was hesitant to start another campaign of such grand proportions, but after seeing the new order of battle, I'm sold. However now I notice an old bug may still be here, i.e. missing formations. In my first game commanding an armored battalion, I receive 2 HQ's without the actual units they supply. This was something that popped up in the original Talonsoft DCG. Hopefully I won't have to restart my campaign again, my last trek led me to 1943, with over 50 battles fought until the inevitable crashes.
This time I can't wait to get all the way to 45'

I'm kind of curious about the organization selection, especially for Barbarossa South. When playing as Germans, actual Corps names are displayed, ie XXIV Corps. However for Russians we get Corps A, B, etc instead. Is this because of the frequent disbanding/destruction of Russian forces on the eastern front, making organization selection at this level largery pointless anyway?

Jason, where can i make the changes and what should i be looking for? I tried to edit the files in the edit order of battle screen but it would not let me edit the file. Do i have to edit them in windows explorer? Any hint in the right direction would be appreciated.

Jason, One more question, i found and fixed a lot of type errors in the files and still no change. on the infantry that show up with a platoon strenth of 1, they have the following code 606657. which number represents its strenth points or number of platoons?
