And that is a legitimate reason to change the units but you want to avoid giving a Russian Capture rifle HEAT ammo. In this case it won't affect gameplay but it does put the error ferret software we use to check for problems on high alert which means I have to check every one that appears because sometimes it does find serious issues.


The simple way deal with this before I have to deal with it to check each scenario with scenhack before you integrate it into the campaign. What I am looking for at this stage is if any changes made to the OOBs have caused problems not 085 - MG-Nest - OOB 16 Germany (OOB Index 525) in 0899 - Juelich Redux......... those I have to go into the scenario and fix manually
