I need a campaign player to test this

Not for a generated campaign.

But I have done it for user campaigns.


The first time I think it was actually an improvised winSPWW2 campaign - I strung together some of the 1944 stock scenarios and played them with my own core force. Unbalanced, yes, but ok fun IMO. If an enemy tank/vehicle unit was damaged and the crew bailed out I assumed it had been captured and would buy it as captured unit the next round. IIRC the unit flag was sometimes Soviet, even if the opponent was Soviet these Aux units would have the same flag as the enemy. The unit leader would also have a Soviet name. Didn't think too much about it, figured there was some conflict with older scenarios being used sort of the "wrong way"...

I still make use captured units, but since I tend to play my own home made user campaigns I typically add them as AUX units in the editor. It's very easy that way if one wants only one single unit of some type..., set the desired unit to AUX and anything else will not show up..., can't remember seeing any unit flag problems when doing it this way.
