Order of Battle UI improvement suggestion

A suggestion taken from the excellent game Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm.

When the OOB is open, you can click on a brigade or whatever, and it will highlight the unit on the map.

Please add the reverse of this, so when you click on a unit on the map, that unit is highlighted in the OOB list. This is a very useful feature in Flashpoint Campaigns, and I have never seen such an elegant UI for an OOB before. It just makes the OOB so easy to use and find anything you want, either from the OOB list or by clicking on units on the map and seeing where they are in the OOB list.

BaB is so good in so many places, I really think this addition will just add to that greatness.

That's a good idea. Thank you! I think we have it select the unit from the OOB now, but not the brigade and higher echelons. That shouldn't be too hard to do.
