I realise I probably need to flesh that out a bit. Scenario 2 - I can't find the 14th Army in the editor under:
British
Fourteenth
XIV
14th
Does something rename to it? guess that wouldn't be searchable

It starts the campaign as the "Eastern Army" and then later renames as the 14th Army in 1943.

Whenever I can't find a name in the editor, I try searching for the unit by the number located in the upper left of the unit display. In this case 117. Unlike the unit names that identity doesn't change.

Ooo - that's a good idea. Thanks
BTW, Bill Slim (pictured there) was an old boy of my school.

Bill Slim, most underrated and one of the best Allied generals during war.
His qualities were really recognized after the war (apart from those who served under him or beside him).

Gen. Slim should not be confused with Gen. "Skinny" Wainwright ...

General Slim was one of the best Generals in the entirety of WW2!!
I used him and the 14th Army in my most recent game to retake Singapore, Saigon, Hong Kong
and Shanghai by the Fall of 1944.
