Ooh those are the two new Soviet formations we added for our upcoming east front packs. They should not have been included. I'll look into this. Thanks for reporting it.

You can always be surprised [:)]
nepejke, can you send a zipped version of the XML file for your estab to this address
miquel.ramirez_at_gmail.com (substitute _at_ by @). That would help to find how that has found its way into the wilds

Okay, I think I see what's the problem. In the meantime, edit your Estab XML document (with an editor such as Notepad++) and remove the blocks of text between and that include these pair of lines
<formation-effects id="13" type="left-ledge">
....
</formation-effects>
and
<formation-effects id="14" type="right-ledge">
....
</formation-effects>

You need to add a picture to the Side. For that:
1) Create a folder called 567_Images
2) Copy from BFTB_Images the German Cross
3) In EstabEditor, bind the Axis Side to the image file
You're ready to go. We really need to make EstabEditor to bark if no images have been associated with the Side.

this is the best war-game which I ever seen, where anyone can create/edit historical unit (I like tanks) with so many realistic attributes [:)]
but, better create own estab, than edit main estab file, cause when I try edit main file, I get often errors in side import phase

If you create an AFV and assign a different weapon to it, then that should run provided:
1. The weapon already exists within the list of estab weapons or
2. You create a new weapon and you assign it a valid ammunition or create a new ammo type and then
3. You recompile the new estab and
4. Assign the new estab to a unit that appears in a scenario.
