Rename Units

[Beethoven1]

It would be nice to have the ability to rename units in the game.

For example, when I was playing, Germany focused on pushing towrards Leningrad, and pushed very little in the center. Consequently, I needed to send extra troops to the north. So, when the "Bryansk" front was created, I sent it to the Volkhov area. I would have liked to rename it to the "Volkhov" front to reflect where it was, and then subsequently later on I could have taken the Volkhov front, sent it to the Bryansk area, and renamed it the "Bryansk" front (just as an example).

I know that you can already rename units in the editor, but the problem is you don't know in advance about situations like e.g. where Germany will attack and if you might want to rename some fronts to reflect where they actually are. Similar situations may arise in many instances, with e.g. the "Stalingrad front" existing even if Germany is nowhere near Stalingrad, and one might like to be able to rename it...

+1. This would be nice for airfields and fortified regions as well. Even if it came from a drop down list of appropriate words, i.e., geographical/city/town/region names.

+1, nice as well would be to add some text to hq displays.

I agree!

See my previous suggestion, that no-one seems to have seen.

I would like to be able to rename different HQ's, like Fronts and Armies, for historical and role-playing purposes (renaming of Fronts, naming of special formations like Cavalry-Mechanized Groups, perhaps German Kampfgruppes, etc).

The option is available in the editor, and I assume it should be fairly easy to set HQ names as editable in the main game.
