Spawn Civilians on west side ?

I'm trying to spawn some Civilians on WEST side, so Independent side will engage them.

For preset Civilians on the map, I have simply grouped them to Blufor troops which are set to 0% Probability of Presence, so the Independent forces will shoot them on site, but I want to actually spawn some Civilians that are classed as Blufor, so they will be shot by other groups spawned on the Independent side.

This is what I am using

_pos = getmarkerPos "berezenemymarker1";

_skill = [0.1, 0.5];

_side = west;

_units = ["RU_Citizen2", "RU_Citizen2", "RU_Citizen2", "RU_Citizen2", "RU_Citizen2", "RU_Citizen2", "RU_Citizen2", "RU_Citizen2"];

bg1 = [_pos, _side, _units, [], [], _skill] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;

sleep 3;

{

_x setskill ["aimingAccuracy",0.15];

_x setskill ["spotDistance",0.75];

_x setskill ["spotTime",0.85];

_x setskill ["courage",0.65];

_x setskill ["commanding",0.85];

_x setskill ["aimingShake",0.15];

_x setskill ["aimingSpeed",0.55];

} foreach units bg1;

~2

[bg1] join w;

_ewp1 = bg1 addWaypoint [getMarkerpos "em1", 10];

_ewp1 = setWaypointType "SAD";

_ewp1 = setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL";

_ewp1 = setWaypointFormation "STAG COLUMN";

Just by using the side as WEST does nothing to help the Independents engage, so I put in the [bg1] join w; where unit w is a blufor soldier hidden miles away.

Now using this script, bg1 seems to only be the leader of the group, and he will toddle off to join w and leave the rest of the group behind, but the Independents just let him go without fuss ?

How do you name each unit if you needed to, or would you just spawn one at a time and do it that way ?

What am I doing wrong please ?

I got this script from a search on here, which works well for simply spawning groups, but it's the rest I can't figure out yet.

Thanks
