Status: offline 		In my constant and never to be completed search for enlightenment with this game I am trying to make sense of the component parts to the BIg units....
it strikes me that somewhere there must be someone who already has done this. I give an example of what I'm trying to do....

And yes I realise I have repeat Tank in there.....duh

Use the WITPloadAE utility to make CSV files from the scenario you are interested in. Open the 'loc' csv files in a spreadsheet. The column A is "UnitNumber", the column B is "Name". Much farther to the right is column BD, which is "primUnit". I am pretty sure that the value in that column is the UnitNumber of the parent unit you are seeking.

That's exactly what I am trying to do. Very useful for your own side to see what needs to be where to combine into bigger units, and also useful intel on what is broken down on the enemy side.... and exactly what an HQ would be doing....

And yes I know I can check in game, but its a touch tedious.

Roger

Yes thanks I can get the data, was just trying to avoid the hours of work if someone had already done it.... inherently seeking efficiency (inherently lazy)

Status: offline 		Another way Roger to do it is open the AE Editor, and load the scenario you are using. Then click on locations, and either do a search for the 2nd Tank Division, or go down to slot 4162. You will see that slot 4162 is assigned to the 2nd Tank, and the slots down to 4173 are assigned to it's sub-units. Also another way to check for sub-units is to look down in the Prim Unit box of the Unit panel, on the right-hand side about half way down.

I've attached an excel spreadsheet for scen 1 that might be useful to you. Note it's zipped but renamed .txt so I could attach it.

Tried to download, reports a corrupted file each time and doesn't seem to finish download. Could you pm me please Chris?

Funny you should mention skinning a cat Rodger, as there are also 2 other methods of finding sub-units.

The first is the bones method; which involves sacrificing a chicken on a stone, by bleeding it. Then skinning and boning the dead chicken, drying the bones for about 2 to 3 weeks, before scattering the dried bones on the ground and reading the results.

The other is a bit more involved, and is done by deciphering an ancient Mayan text, which should take about 10 years. A text that no scientists have yet been able to decode, and some actually theorize is the basis for the main coding of WitP.
