Does anyone know where BA stores the names of the different unit types?
I want to modify and rename a unit, but I'm not sure where it pulls the name down from...
Thanks guys.

Have a look at the the Text1 file in each campaign folder should be something like
IDS_UNITNAME105,"FJ Panzershreck",
IDS_UNITINFO105, "FJ Panzershreck Rocket Launcher~~The Panzershreck was developed from captured examples of US Bazookas. Heavier and more powerful than the US system, the Panzershreck can destroy any allied tank.",

That's really helpful, thanks much R!
Do you know if it's possible to copy the "info" text over for certain units? Or is this a manual job?
I suspect I know the answer, lol, but I'm looking to save a couple of hours work...

Good answer R... Sorry I explained badly...
I meant, is there a format where I can write the function IDS_UNITINFO200, [but then write something here so it just pulls the info from an existing unit, eg. UNITINFO25]?
I'm trying to find a shortcut from retyping lots of stuff... but I'm happy to byte the bullet, if the answer is no...
