I was stumped the other night on why cruisers and the alternate Japanese battleship weren't showing up properly-- and I realized that I had to change the mg_army.tgi file to make this happen. so this evening I picked an old campaign and fired it up again to see what sort of results I got. the difference was that now I've got an invasion force of THIRTEEN ships! I also changed the description of the Dynamic Corps HQs because I got tired of seeing "Corps HQ, Corps HQ, Corps HQ". if you're really going to be tangling with three or four different Corps HQS from different nations I think this is worth showing in the pre-battle summary.
where multiple Corps get's interesting is because a single commanding general could get access to ALL of the upgrades available to GBR, RUS, and USA... and for an invading Japanese player this is definitely information you NEED to know! you could be squaring off against Russian medium tanks, American tank destroyers, and British flame tanks before you know it!
