Hi everyone. I just recently bought the Arma 2 CO package and I already learned a small fraction of the game, but still haven't touched a lot of the possibilities at all. When I played the Arma 2 campaign I was a bit confused about the game mechanics in the "base building and recruiting"-missions; starting from mission 9 iirc. My main question is: How is it possible to create a new "strategic" unit (I don't know how else to call it): The one that is visible when going into the Ctrl+Space command mode. For some reasons all units I was able to create in mission 9 were joining my Force Recon unit, so I had to click through 50 units with the F-keys. I could not figure out how to make them join a separate unit. Of course you can give them a color, but I wont play mission 10 until I know how to create those infantry / vehicles within another unit. Even in the Boot Camp no word is spent on that subject. Second question would be: I finished the mission 9 just by looking at the strategic map for about 30 mins, sending units from village to village and easily succeeding due to massive amounts of money. Is that a matter of game difficulty? It was really easy to beat the mission on the second difficulty (regular?). How else should I use the money besides recruiting massive amounts of troops and just marching across the map defeating everything in my way just be the amount of men in my army?
