BigDuke66 -> "User defined OOB" (6/28/2011 2:19:57 AM)

A lot people seem to miss the flexibility of editing their OOB the way it's used at the frontline(like WITE does it).
Problem in TOAW is it's already enough to move a unit within a formation to a different spot and you could break events and what the hell else.
My idea is to make a "User defined OOB" by making a second list similar to the original OOB but where the user can modify the order of it by moving formations up and down in this list and so allow them to sort this list the way the frontline looks or should look. By using commands similar to the "Previous formation" & "Next formation" the user could browse thru this list and see the formations highlighted on map and could so at least make the "position" of the formations adjustable.
Good example is the scenario(Götterdämmerung 1944-1945) I currently play, formations are on corps level and by using the "User defined OOB" I could move corps up & down in this list to match the way their order is on the frontline or like I want their order to be, the way OOBs are usual ordered it would allow me to put them under the command of a different Army or even Army group, now don't misunderstand this as it won't have any effect on the formation itself regarding game mechanics, it's a pure adjustment of the order within the new "User defined OOB".
Furthermore this list should be usable just like the original OOB with clicking on units and jumping to them, also I would like to see the mod the unit is in listed like it's on the formation screen as that would finally allow to track down units in rail mod that are overlooked.
So how useful does the community find this(especially regarding big & long scenarios) and even more important would it be possible to incorporate this into TOAWIII?
