My question is whether it's possible to add reinforcements to a mission and if so how/where?

Merry Christmas btw!

In the Mission Editor, right-click on a formation and select "off-map time". I recommend to "lock" all formations that are placed in the editor.

Thank you. And can you also chose where the reinforcements will turn up on the map?

They will appear where you placed them in the Mission Editor. If you want to take units to the enemy side you can buy transport helicopters and assign formations to them in the right-click menu.

Didn't have the time to try this out before, but now I do have time, I don't know how to do this. Can you describe it in more detail please?

There isn’t much more detail to it—that’s exactly how it works. You right-click on a formation, place it where you want, lock it, and set the timer for when it should appear.

So before starting the scenario and during placing the units on the map, you right click on a formation? And with formation you mean the HQ unit?

You start generating a scenario, and on the last screen before the battle is launched, there is a Save button in the upper right corner. Clicking it will save the generated skirmish as a scenario, which can then be edited in the Mission Editor.

By formations, I mean any section, platoon, etc. Just right-click on the formation flag. Detached individual vehicles or squads cannot be locked or scripted—this only applies to the entire formation.

Thank you, nikolas.
