Making totally new units

I bet this is not possible? Can I make new units, simply adding rifles, guns, mortars, etc. I'm creating Bastogne screnario and it would be nice to have US 4th and 10th Armored Division units available. BTW, map is ready and I'm building OOB's right now. Soon it's time for serious beta test.
You can take a sneakpeak about map here:
Bastogne map
It's not 100% accurate, because I'm lacking good sources. But surely accurate enough for nice scenario.

Looks very nice. What was your source for the map overlay? I looked high and low a while back and never came accros anything nearly as nice as what you've got there.

Thanks!
Its amazing what you can find from net:

Plus I did use some other maps from net. Unfortunately southern part of Bastogne is missing. I don't want to use only modern maps and only old map from WW2 is from previous link.

El Savior,
You cannot create new Estabs. So any units you create must be based on the existing Estabs. FYI we will be putting out a full set of Estabs covering the forces in the Bulge, when we release our Battles from the Bulge ( BFTB ) game next year. BFTB will feature a new resupply system as it's new BIG feature.

Nice map! [8D]
For my hedgerows mod, I'm putting together US units using British estabs. I wouldn't have bothered had the game included a close British approximation of a U.S. Infantry Div, but all the troops in 30 Corp were motorized or mechanized. I needed units filled with regular old foot soldiers so I'm creating the allies from scratch. It's slow going for me, but so far I think it's fairly rewarding.
BTW, you can now read up on my mod at the only dedicated Airborne Assualt
Blog in existence. Keep up the great work Panther & Matrix!

It's there in the above post... the links don't show up very well in the posts because they have the same color as the text. [8|]

Could you please post this in the main forum? I am sure quite a few people would be interested who may not read this one!

Is it possible that you in the future provide a unit editor to make totally new units? I think it would be interesting from a modding perspective.

I like the idea, that we could do estabs ourself. Surely this would give modding more freedom and then we would see dozens of new screnarios. We could have even more new equipment just for modders, example US stuff and even Russian. [8D]
