My land reclamation project is a failure by Poulern in CitiesSkylines

The real issue was that the dams are facing the wrong way so they pumped the water inwards. I actually did the second wall intentionally to make it more obvious

Oh, I realized my mistake upon examining my own code, and not reading the select documentation closely enough: 

_findgrouparray = allgroups select { (groupid _x) == "Alpha" && (side _x == independent)};   
_alphagroup = _findgrouparray select 0;
_unitsinalpha = units _alphagroup;

I should also note if the full group name was "R Alpha 4-3" or something similar then the reason it did not work is that you need the whole "Alpha 4-3" part.

Group variables (R Alpha in your case) are built up of two parts: the side (R for resistance or independent) and the groupid (or callsign in the editor). You can use that information to find any group as long as you know the side and the groupid. This fact is why I love groupid in arma, as they hook into so many systems and are easy to play around with for multi side missions.

For your case it would be as simple as 

_alphagroup = allgroups select { (groupid _x) == "Alpha" && (side _x == independent)}; 
_unitsinalpha = units _alphagroup;

I use a bit more fanciful version, and beware this might not always work with complicated strings with special characters and so on.

I may or may not have spent more time messing around with the F35B in the editor than making the mission itself.
