Pip/Iain, How can I add a description to a unit that I've made available in a MP force selection map? I've included the SdKfz 251/2 transport in Fast N Sneaky v2 (plus Wounded Merge and Walking Mortars). But there's no description for the 251/2 on the force selection page. I guess I just need to add something to text1.txt, but I'm not sure how? I'm happy to work up the text, if you can explain how to plug it in. Thanks!

PS. Is there a code that I can add in somewhere else (.bsf file?) to change the lock out time for airstrikes? At the moment, Allied airstrikes lock out for 5 turns once used, German airstrikes lock out for 6 turns... I want to reduce that to 4 and 5 (because I've already locked it out right at the start, to prevent experienced players bombarding where they "know" their opponents will be).

For the description you have to add an entry in the text file like this:

IDS_UNITINFO255

Change the number with the ID of the unit you want to describe.

Thanks again RF,

I've added the following into TEXT1.TXT immediately before your Merge descriptors...

IDS_UNITINFO103, "SDKFZ251/2 Halftrack/Mortar~~An upgrade to the original 251 infantry transport, the /2 included an integrated mortar in addition to carrying troops. All 251's suffered from weak armour in the field",

Works nicely. Much appreciated
