No offense, but the alpha scheme seems to have been more flexible... In fact, Brigades were aggregates of Battalions, which could be parts of regiments. Battalions from the same Regiment could be assigned to different Brigades.
Like Cato in Ancient Rome, I will repeat my long-term suggestion =)
It is better to open the Regiment list by placing its data in a standard Database format. For example the Harpoon wargame lets you add/remove/edit any platform, selecting possible payloads etc. using MS Access.
For HW-LG, a similar thing could be accomplished. There should be:
- Regiment Database (each regiment with a unique key, text comments, combat characteristics, allowed formations, pointers to graphics files)
- Officer Database (each commander with a unique key, text comments, characteristics, pointers to graphics files)
- OOB files created by the OOB editor: This would allow free definition of Corps, Divisions, Brigades, using Regiment and Commander keys to link with battalion characteristics and uniforms (names should be allowed to change) in the DB files.
