I want to clarify a few points regarding this new feature as it has been questioned off the forums
Quote:

* CD owners Only. ( winSPWW2 only--- this function was not added to winSPMBT ) There is a new feature that allows CD owners / scenario designers primarily, the ability to change the ID tags and Victory Hex Flags to either an existing OOB or from a set of tags and flags that have been added to the SHP files for nations not covered by a full OOB which allows scenario designers the ability to customize scenarios and simulate nations not covered by the normal game OOB's. That procedure is detailed in the CD section of the game guide.

1/ It can only be set by CD owning players/scenario designers
BUT scenario built using it WILL show the altered ID tags and V-hexes to both CD owners and Free DL players.
2/ If a unit that has had its flag changed takes a V hex then that is the flag that will show for that V-Hex BUT all points go to the side that unit is on. You could have a battle where The USA and Filipino troops are on the same side but if a Filipino unit takes a neutral or enemy V hex then that V hex will show the flag of the Philippines but the points would go to the USA side that the Filipino unit is allied to. This would also be true if you were playing a scenario that had German and Latvian troops. If the Latvian troops took a neutral or enemy V hex the hex would flip to the Latvian flag and the German side would be credited with the points. This feature was deliberately coded that way so you could see how well your " allies" were doing and is not a "bug"
3/ This feature is ONLY coded into winSPWW2 and NOT winSPMBT
