Template improvements- make it easier to create units from squads on up

[upyr1]

Instead of the current template system, we should have one that is built on tables of origination and equipment so we can place units on the map instead of just single vehicles. On the map the current menu should be more or less the same with changes for unit size (individual, squad, platoon, company/battery/ brigade and the like) a filter for single or group might be good. When creating a template we should have a menu where we can create an origination tree. Let's say we are building a motorized rifle company we would start with a box then on one side of the screen we would be able to name and classify it acceding to size and branch of arms (artillery, infantry, supply, armor) and give assign  nations and dates.

then the ability to add a lower level and a higher level unit.

 

So let's say the company looks like this 

Now we add a lower level unit which would be a platoon. If we would be able to edit or load an existing template. so if we decide to check for an existing tank platoon template we would load filter for armor and select the tank platoon. We would also be able to do the same for the other units. Now if we find out there isn't a template for the infantry we would create  a new template and we might base something off this.

and go as low as the squad level.
