Tried it with my own custom factions I made with ALiVE and it did not work. Then I tried it with RHS factions and it did not work.

I place civil objective, the circle that goes around, ai commander and logistics. With the groups factions bit set to in this instance: UK3CB_NAP_I and the other group as UK3CB_TKA_I and when I click play, it just shows no opcom groups. Each faction has groups. It's rather annoying.

The weird thing is. I loaded those same groups into RIS and clicked play and it worked. So something is definitely up with this mod.
