Scenario Editor - How to use Place Mode/Change Sides???

I'm building my first scenario and found nothing in the manual about placing units. Finally figured out to place for side A, but how for side B? Seems like a critical section of the manual is missing for placement, setting reinforcements, changing sides. The Scenario Sides dialogue makes no intuitive sense (it shows all countries and cannot isolate side a & side b). Note that I successfully setup a map file and org file, but can anyone tell me where to look for these steps?? I looked and haven't found it so far in the manual. Thanks, very much appreciated!

Attached a slide. I will try to add more slides and information (as supplement to the manual) if you and others require it.

Oberst, thank you! I always appreciate your instructional graphics for TOAW4 & CSME. Part of my issue was seeing "Side A Turn" at the left bottom of the screen all of the time. So I finally figured out the Scenario/Sides dialogue which has ALL of the CSME countries listed. You just have to sort each one of them as Side A or Side B, even if they are not used in the scenario. The manual also emphasized picking Leaders for your organizations, but where are these located? - I discovered they are at the platoon level.
I am now looking in the manual on how to add an exit-based objective (point-based, no problem) moving hopefully up (and not down or sideways) on the learning curve.

I do admit, that one has to get used with the three different editors; alas we're not living in a perfect world. However, that gives me ample opportunities to create... tutorials
Commanders are found in the <b>Platoon</b> selection in the Org-Editor.
So, when in doubt, ask the Kraut!
