Plasma, is it possible to say, copy the US picklist .dat file into the slot for say El Salvador, and get the AI to pick like it's the US; if you wanted to replace El Salvador with a US style force?

Frankly, I think not.
You see, the lists are mostly made up of formation numbers (plus pick probabilities and prices, of course), and I fear equivalent formations in the OBFs of say, USA and Salvador, aren't in the same place in the formation index.

You can try swapping files, but the most probable thing that will happen is that you'll end up with a Salvadorean force made up of, say, odd support platoons, lonely utility vehicles and tank transports by the dozen... or something equally useless.

Best is to use the Excel spreadsheet Andy made up (link posted earlier on this thread), and check the various entries against the formations in the country's OBF. Mostly, that's how it works.
