I am playing GS 2.0 currently and I have following message at the beginning of 1943: "Max German SS units allowed in year 1943 is: 4. Current number of German SS units on the map: 2"

In the manual I read:
Limit for 1942: 3
Limit for 1943: 5

Is this an error in the manual or I miss something?

These are the current limits:
MAX_SS_1939 0 /* Max number of SS units allowed on the map in 1939 */
MAX_SS_1940 0 /* Max number of SS units allowed on the map in 1940 */
MAX_SS_1941 1 /* Max number of SS units allowed on the map in 1941 */
MAX_SS_1942 2 /* Max number of SS units allowed on the map in 1942 */
MAX_SS_1943 5 /* Max number of SS units allowed on the map in 1943 */
MAX_SS_1944 8 /* Max number of SS units allowed on the map in 1944 */
MAX_SS_1945 10 /* Max number of SS units allowed on the map in 1945 */

MAX_GUARDS_1939 0 /* Max number of Guards units allowed on the map in 1939 */
MAX_GUARDS_1940 0 /* Max number of Guards units allowed on the map in 1940 */
MAX_GUARDS_1941 2 /* Max number of Guards units allowed on the map in 1941 */
MAX_GUARDS_1942 7 /* Max number of Guards units allowed on the map in 1942 */
MAX_GUARDS_1943 9 /* Max number of Guards units allowed on the map in 1943 */
MAX_GUARDS_1944 12 /* Max number of Guards units allowed on the map in 1944 */
MAX_GUARDS_1945 15 /* Max number of Guards units allowed on the map in 1945 */

If You have already 1 unit of SS such message will be in order.....

You can always see if you can build an SS unit if you click in an eligible unit and the elite button changes from grey to green. If you click on it you will see the capacity left and you can just cancel if you don't want to make the upgrade.

MAX_GUARDS_1944 12 /* Max number of Guards units allowed on the map in 1944 */
MAX_GUARDS_1945 15 /* Max number of Guards units allowed on the map in 1945 */

I guess this is my setting.

I like the setup:

I accidently agreed for Ruskies to build Guards and now I face Guards that don't even need air to kill my MECH bechind the river...

We decided to lower the 1941 number of guards because the Russians get 4 shock armies late 1941 and they're considered guards.
