Americans And Ruskies side by side?

HAH! Good one!

...

What, you were serious?

Just kidding buddy. I know the people around here know as these kinds of questions are often asked, but unfortunately I have no idea myself.

i found one explaination but that only worked if you had the guys in the same group, i want them to be in different groups, the campaign i am creating is that the americans and russians are after the same enemy

You can't.

You can however fake it group by group.    Create group of West loons.  Make the group leader an east loon.     Set the groupleader's probability of presence to zero.   (I think the prob of presence thing works.   If not write deleteVehicle this in his init field.)   Everybody in the game will think that these west looking guys are in fact east.    You would need to do this for all your west (or east) groups.

If you get General Barron's editor addon from the ed depot it gives you east and west "spy" units which have a similar effect.

American and Russion troops have served together, most recently in the Balkans I think, and most memorably in WWII.

About the WW2 thing... you sure?

If it hadn't been for a few little things, namely some Hitler's political ideals, Russia would have been fighting on Germany's side.

And even better, they were communists as well, something America was eventaully fighting in Vietnam. Remember, Russia wasn't allowed a say in the Treaty of Versailles. I doubt they would have fought alongside America in any case...

If you were just referring to the general idea of sides, then yeah, I agree.

I've done History.  ;D

You're probably right though, because I'm always wrong...

I saw something about this on the mission ideas forum.  My idea was to copy the BIS Soviet units and make a new addon, only with the config made to place them under the RESISTANCE side.  Not sure how you'd do it, though.  Only thing is, you'd have to have even more addons, because they would need someone to fight.

Deletevehicle would probably be the simplest, and cleanest way, if you don't mind entering it in to all the units.
