Believe it or not alot of player's of this game get a brain cramp when the subject of alternate oob's come up. I mean if you make a scenario you want as many people as possible to be able to play it.
But if you use somebodies custom OOB's (no matter how good or historically acurate they are) ,you limit the amount of people that are going to play it.

I wouldn't mind using the green so much.. It is just the flag issue I have. I may make some flags and use the green and overwrite some country I don't use. Any suggestions as to what country would model Mexico as far as morale, and leadership, etc?

I don't know as far as which country would be the nearest to Mexico's training levels. You could just make green Mexico. Make the flag Mexican and Scrap the OOB, being that Green is supposed to represent generic latin america.

I recently learned that Mexico is the worlds 13th largest economy. I'm abit curious why the developers didn't drop one of those african nations and include mexico.

I was bored, so I replaced the Green Flag with the Mexican one. Just Remove the "mexico" piece of the file names and replace the files in your Graphics directory.

And kids remember always to backup your files before playing with these.

Looks like things are ramping up in Ciudad Juarez;

The army said on Thursday the new deployment could take the number of soldiers and federal police to over 7,000 in Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas. This month drug hitmen killed 250 people in Juarez, where a meeting of cabinet members on Wednesday was rattled by bomb scares.

I forsee a serious increase in running gun battles and car bombs in the near future.

AN IBD article that issues the same warning we have heard before:

And it also says that paying lip service to making the border doesn't do anything.

Interestingly, I haven't really heard anything about the current financial crisis affecting Mexico in the news. That has to indicate how bad things are there when when a crisis of this magnitude doesn't seem to be making their situation any worse.

You don't hear anything from the news that doesn't make the One look good or fit their "Blame America" narrative. The MSM is about as useful as a .22 against a tiger.

The news services on the internet has all the stories that the media SHOULD be covering but won't for the reasons cited above. My whole point of putting these news stories up is to show that our humble game is dead-on in many ways.

I was playing a game using these flags and noticed that the victory flags are not centered. I copied the flags directly over the old flags in the shp file. Any idea why it would be offset?
