"D" key question

[dita]

A question concerning the "D" key and modifying units during the deploy phase for a scenario.

I`ve added some civilians/refugees into the scenario and I wish to arm them with pistols. However, selecting the "D" key and I cannot see pistols or misc weapons on the selection. Don`t really want to arm my civilian population with M16s!

On another issue, is it the "done thing" to use civilian forces in a scenario. The idea is that they are refugees moving from the front line, getting caught up in the advancing army. I`ve made their cost higher so that player is penalised if he loses any, obviously they are being targetted heavily by the AI.

Giving them weapons gives the impression that the forces are not targeting "innocent" and unarmed civilians, hence wanting to give them pistols.

Perhaps I`m thinking about this a bit too much

Thanks for any advice
