Ok, this is how to add points and deployment spots. Before you use this tip first make sure you backup your files, also any time you mess around with game files sometimes you get unwanted effects. So far giving myself a lot of points has had no bad effects, on the other hand giving myself more deployment spots has crashed the game(I can still play till the end of the mission but I can't continue.) and some of my tanks and stuff end up outside the set-up grid. I've figured out how to enlarge the set-up grid but that's another post.

This example is for the USA's first mission. Using this path(it might look a little different on your computer) locate the "Faid" folder and open in

F:\game install here\Theatre.of.War.2.Africa.1943\Theatre of War 2\Missions\USA\Faid

Your looking for the "Mission" file (make sure you back it up!) Open with a text editor like notepad. Scoll down until you see this

	<ArmyComposition>
		<Cost>2650</Cost>  These are your points just change it to whatever you want.
		<Outdated />
		<Permission>
			<CompoundFilter>
				<Places>6</Places>   These are the deployment spots, just change it to what you need.

Yours will look different cause this has already been changed. When your done just close it and save. If something went wrong just replace it with your backup file. That's it.
