Head over to the Creation and Customization subforum, and you've got better chances of getting help. Begin by checking out the tutorials for adding units.

Have you linked the scenario to the PtW extras folder? Unless you've place the units in your scenario's folder, you must open the scenario in the editor and open the Scenario properties box, and type in the PtW extras folder's name (I don't have the WW2 units, so I wouldn't know exactly what its called or what subfolder its in). You must list starting from the Civilization 3 folder (I think), like: ..\PtW\Extras\WW2\Art\ or some such.
If you have done that. then, most likely, You're misspelling the name of the unit either in PediaIcons.txt, the Civ3 editor editor, or the name of the units folder differs from the .INI. Remember, if there are spaces in the unit folder and INI name, you must enter them as "_" in the pediaicons.txt file, and in the editor. EXCEPT on the line below "#ANImNAME_PRTO_unit_name". Then you must type the name of the folder exactly. Or, Just rename the units so theres no spaces.
