Force lists

[Lieste]

I think I had the same trouble with COTA (and I'll see if I can find my original thread in the relevant sub-forum and link to it later) - when attempting to open the force list onto a newly created scenario, with only the supreme command added I always get a CTD (both with my adjusted Estab (minor corrections only) and the original one.

I also get a CTD in the Scenario editor if I have more than one unit with no allocated Estab - in COTA it was possible to flesh out the Org tree and then drag a group of Estabs onto the Unit dialogues in one operation, now the list must be updated one Unit/Estab at a time, which takes far longer, as you must flit between the two Estab trees (Scenario Units and Estabs) in order to add & set each one.

Duplicating an existing unit does work.
Machine is running XP Home SP3, let me know if you need more details.

Found out what wasn't working - I hadn't added an estab to the super-force and the BFTB Scn editor crashes when an unspecified unit gets subordinates added to it.

Adding the super force estab before attempting to load the force list avoids the crash.
This should be checked for and trapped within the UI - both in the case of importing a force list and for manually adding subordinates to the Orbat - losing all work done since the last save is offputting.

Good recommendation re checking for estab of SupremeForce before im porting force list. Thanks.
