Status: offline 		I am creating a scenario in which an entire US armored division is on the map. I had read and understood that the W@W version 2.3 would allow for 400 formations and 800 units ( and version2.2 allows the 400/800 f/u as well). However, I failed to set the formation number to 400 and after many hours of work on my game I reached some 55 formations and 400 units. Silly me! Noticing this I immediately tried to set the formation number to the max 400: to no avail. Woe is me. Am I stuck? Do I have to redo the whole thing? Or is there a way to bump up the formation/unit numbers to 400/800 ? So is there some trick , or..? ------------------ "Mediocrity carries its own price." It is my pleasure to communicate with you.

Status: offline 		Uuuugh...I think this 400/800 was for *both* sides added together, not for one side. I think it may have been discussed waaay back, you could try a search at the main forum. This is definitely Wild Bill's territory though Voriax

Status: offline 		I have already brought this question to WB, Paul V and even one of the programmers....they referred me to this forum. So I will stick here 'til I get a firm yes or no. Perhaps I should also try some of the other forums? If I recall, the manual was pretty clear that it was referring to 400formations/800 units for each player. And since I have had no trouble getting far more than 200 units (as you suggested is the meaning of the limit) this would seem to be at least still in question. It would also seem to make sense based on the max size of the map: 100x240 which works out to 3 by 7+ miles. And since five to seven miles would be the length for most set piece engagements of division size, as a review of any US Army battle map will illustrate, this would seem to be a good reason for providing more units.
