North Wind OOB Missing US Lieutenants

RE: North Wind OOB Missing US Lieutenants
This took a bit of digging to understand. Here's the problem:
  • North Wind #1 (and perhaps the rest, I only checked this one) draws leaders from Battle of the Bulge
  • NoWi001's OOB calls for an America Army 1st Lieutenant
  • Battle of the Bulge's OOB only has America Army Lieutenants. I assume 1st and 2nd Lts weren't yet part of PG.
  • The ILS tool, and the PG-HQ Library, treat these differently:
    • Lieutenant
    • 1st Lieutenant
    • 2nd Lieutenant

So the ILS error is caused by Avalanche Press' inconsistent unit naming schema over the years.

I'm not sure what the best way to unravel this knot is:
  • we can change NoWi to call for Bulge's lieutenants, but then the NoWi OOB on the site will not match that in the book itself
  • we can patch behind the scenes so that the ILS knows that 1st Lt == Lt in this case, but this might confuse people
  • we can... I dunno what else? I'm tired and this naming stupidity makes my head hurt
Thoughts from anyone?
...came for the cardboard, stayed for the camaraderie...
