In the campaign editor, is it possible to edit unit names (I mean--rename from the original generic unit-type names)? For example, you might want to create a designated company with HQ, 3 motor-rifle platoons and a weapons platoon, in order to add "character" to your campaign.

Currently the formation names can be edited in the campaign.xml file. The unit names can be edited in the unit specs window during the campaign, but not before starting it.

A correction: the campaign.xml formation names don't seem to work at the moment. I'll take a look into this now, because I'm working on a feature that allows the scenario designer to rerun the unit selection phase in any scenario or campaign. Perhaps I'll make make it possible to rename the formations in this screen.

Thanks for this. Yes, I found out that renaming in campaign.xml doesn't work! But it's OK. :-)
More features/flexibility in scenario design would be welcome, if possible. Creating more detailed OOBs could be fun.
