Sorry I might have misnamed the topic, which probably should read = How to edit savegame and add stuff?
So I was playing as Germany, noticed that Soviets had 'only' some 170 divs in 1940 summer but had bypassed me in research (thanks to 10 tech slots), and so I tried to add divisions (infantry and light armor) to Soviets to balance the game (~100 basic inf. divs and some ~40 light armor) before Barbarossa, but I have no idea how to do that. How do I use the Saves Editor for Hoi2?
Ok, open Save games => save X, but then what?
Country tag = Sov, USSR, or what is it?
Add division = Name x, type = infantry, armor, (etc.), model 3, but then what? There are many empty boxes of some values, I guess, so what do I put into them? It says use "Please, use the values of db\units\divisions for approximate values". Ok, so I looked the file, but there was one value too much! I counted that the editor has 1 too few value slots, so something is left out?!
Anyway, I filled all the values and tried to "Add division" many times but nothing happened. Why, how? Is there some way to somehow save this, that I didnt do=? How do these changes appear on the game?
(Any other advice on Barbarossa? I was aiming at Russians having some ~350 divs at start, mostly obsolete (basics and improved), although they've already researched about everything and way ahead of me, even in doctrines, and with double research speed. So I was planning to first destroy most of their obsolete divs and manpower and then later they would have caught on to me at the 2. or 3. year mass producing adv. infantries and armor...)

How? What should I search and change? How do I add ~100 basic infantry divisions and ~40 light armor and so on? Is Open Office OK for this too?
