Here is a link to a "You Tube" video of "The Last Stand" after I added things to the saved game.

Great video, 5 Stars for that.

I often play with the FoW and MoW editors, but the one thing i haven't quite got sorted out... Is there any way to modify the available reinforcements to a given player?

Sorry, I don't know how to use the editor very well. I was able to change what reinforcements you get in a saved game. I made it so when you called for a "carro15" light tank, you would get a "m26" Pershing heavy tank.

ooo , would that work for the sturmtiger, i know you play russian in that mission, but could you modify to request the sturmtiger to appear for soviet?

Or maybe even a rival karl mortar

I have a special saved game that I test things in. Once Iv'd tested it then it can be used anywhere in the game. The tricky part about changeing the reinforcments is finding the right vechicles or troops. Whats the "sturmtiger"? Oh yea, In that russian mission I made the "305mm" gun, mine from the start.

The sturmtiger is a rocket artillery piece added with patch 1.11.3, a video can be found here...

appears in editor as "sturmtiger" without the quotes here...

It's hugely powerful, with a range of 170m in game and a massive blast radius, but is slightly smaller than a panzer 1 so doesn't suffer the mobility problems that the Karl mortars have, nor is as large as the sevastapol 305mm fixed gun, all of which can be seen here (including a weird chequered 155mm cannon)...

it would be great to know how to get the sturmtiger into the game on the soviet side to play with

you could make a mission or edit a mission so that your units have the sturm. But i think there is a def file not in the entities file but in a properties one that chooses what goes where. Also making a def in that folder and using a different variant and skin (dds) would be something a little tricky i suppose.
