If you want opfor to be RACS you can do it in the mission editor, no need to make new units.

Place one RACS unit with a probability of 0 near the group, make it so it has a higher rank than the unit or groupleader that you want to switch side. Then you group (F2) your unit / group to that RACS unit.

What will happen is that when the mission starts the RACS unit isnt there (probability 0) but the unit / group has changed side.

You can use this for any side. You can have a civilian, racs or blufor as opfor, and you can have all sides in the same group. Whatever combination you want.

Another way is to open the mission.sqm in a texteditor and change the 'side="EAST";' to 'side="GUER"; for every group you want.

You have 'side="EAST";', 'side="WEST";', 'side="GUER";' and 'side="CIV";'. The same thing here, change the units to whatever side you like.
