Okay, after a lot of trial and error, heaving on the latter, I am finding a bit of a pain to add units to nations so they can have them from the start. CTD is getting old or the error messages and then having to abort since the game CTDs no matter what I pick.

So is there a How to guide to add units like armor or infantry to the INC files so say Cuba has a battleship or Ireland has three fighter squadrons?

Thanks for all the help!
 
Should be fairly easy by adding them to the INC file (scenarios subfolder). Here's an example:

landunit = {
id = { type = 12048 id = 1021 }
name = "Territoriaal Commando Noord Sumatra"
location = 1355 # Medan

division = {
id = { type = 12048 id = 1022 }
name = "Territoriaal Commando Noord Sumatra"
type = garrison
model = 0
strength = 30
max_strength = 30
locked = yes
}
}

landunit = {
id = { type = 12048 id = 1023 }
name = "Territoriaal Commando Zuid Sumatra"
location = 1358 # Palembang

division = {
id = { type = 12048 id = 1024 }
name = "Territoriaal Commando Zuid Sumatra"
type = garrison
model = 0
strength = 30
max_strength = 30
locked = yes
}
}

Just make sure the IDs are unique (represented in bold), and you use the right IDs for the unit type and location. And it's always a good example to use an existing unit as a base, in order to add it to your scenario.
 
Okay I will give it a go and see what I can do. Thank you.
