ORIGINAL: Floxolydian Here's how I do it: I found it easiest to take existing formations - that are similar to the ones i want to create anew - and copy them. The way you could do this is 1) click on a unit on the map in the editor 2) open unit-detail-window by right-clicking on the unit-counter on the right side of the screen 3) click on the name of the unit This should bring you to the unit-tab of the editor, the formation you've clicked on should be selected the "Unit-Composition" should be on the left two-thirds of the screen. Here you see what ground elements are part of it and other info, like which TOE the unit is using, what it's current supply-levels are, its leader, it's next HQ, etc... On the rightmost third (Unit-List) should be a list all Formations. Again, the one you've clicked on should be selected. directly above the Unit-List are Functions, for example "INSERT", "COPY" (which you should be using shortly), "DELETE", etc. First thing I do is make space, clicking on "INSERT" a couple of times. This will insert an empty slot in the Unit-List. To keep track of what units you've added I would leave some space to the default-units. You might have to again select the unit you want to copy. A "C" should appear next to the selected unit. Now click on one of the empty spaces you've made with the "INSERT" function. Now click the Function "PASTE". et vorlá! You've copied the unit. you can - and should - now give the new unit a unique name. If it is a HQ-Unit you should give it a different leader (the leader was also copied!) Note that SUs were not copied, if you want the new unit to have SUs you'll have to copy those as well and assign these SUs as HQ the unit you've created. Many thanks for the reply, sir. I did try this but got a bit confused, plus, unfortunately, I could not find any SS units that would be suitable to be copied. I am still trying but it will take some time to get my head around the editor
