[BlackICE] Question: Why can't I construct Waffen SS?
I'm in a multiplayer BlackICE 8.4 game, and the only SS brigades I can make are SS-Panzer, SS-Panzer-Abt and SS armored support. No infantry, mot-infantry, arty, engineers, what-have-you...
At the start of the game there are a bunch of prompts regarding including SS in the game, but I don't know which one will allow me to build custom divisions. I'm pretty sure I selected no separate command structure for SS, and a-historical full divisions. But I did get a few event spawned ones.
What are the options I need to select to build all the ss-brigades? Alternatively, can I do some save file editing?

The are activated by event in late 1940. If you chose no separate command structure you disable the events that adds the county flag. So either launching event 94062 manually or adding the country flag SS_Waffen_creation should do it.
The event basically asks you if you want to make the SS 'Seperate' ish from the Wehrmacht unlocking creating more SS divisions.
It's already april 42, and I declined that event, but I guess I shouldn't have. I dislike the clutter of units that happens. I'm going to try what you suggest. Thanks.
edit: I did use the event 94062, but then I was still not able to make the brigades. I did manage to find some other events I could fire. So, firstly I did need event 94062, which activates the SS_Waffen_creation country flag. Then, I think after looking through the game files, assuming you have activated fascist militia brigades (event 48902), it starts going down the list of ss brigades you can activate, each having some chance of happening every few ingame weeks.
When I manually triggered those events in the console, I could build the brigades. For posterity, the events are:
I have by no means tested this extensively, or even in multiplayer. But I could use these events for building ss brigades. I'm not sure which one activates artillery and anti-tank/air, I'm guessing the first one listed.
