I am glad you liked it! Do forgive me though when some of my Italian descriptions weren't 100%, I tried my best (I do my research, you see?).

Now it's time for my Italian and other fellow TOAW 'groupies' to start building units and formations of their own. Attached the OOB and very good TO&E of the Italian forces during the Gazala operation in May 1942.

OK peeps, that's the whole Tutorial 'xx series at present. Please do forgive me the countless typos in various 'speech bubbles'; I'll try to go through the whole slides (quite a few!!!) and correct them. The whole project is not finished yet, alas I do require direct feedback, positive or negative. Feel free to post your feedback in threads or PM/Email me. Thanks!

Now... Can we modify, add, delete and so on our units and OOB without the editor at all? Sì possiamo!
Klinkoni, Col.

Herr Oberst, an explanation is requested as to how you jumped from editing in game to editing using Notepad++. When I save an OOB it saves as an OOL file which is binary, not a readable XML file. So there's a step missing on converting OOL to OOB perhaps?

Note that I have no problem editing the .gam XML file, but also ended up with a parsing error which you warned about.

Thank you.

Nick,

you need to save the OOB via the editor, e.g. when you edit your forces (see below).

Ah, yes. Thank you, sir! I would not have figured that out without your assistance, (or perhaps reading the manual - it is there, know that I know what to look for...)

But still, it doesn't make much sense to me to have this (and other critical scenario editing functions) only available when the force editor is open, looking like a modal window, but not. Must be a necessary code work-around dealing with the ancient Koger glypts.
