+====== CfgFaces ======
+ArmA 2 CfgFaces
+Used in conjunction with setFace.
+<code cpp>
+person SetFace "cfgFaces.ClassName"; // quotes required
+this SetFace "Marylin";
+soldier1 SetFace "Face33";
+</code>
+"Face01" to "Face107".
+A subset of 6 Camo faces are available for each of above.
+The full set of class names for "face77" would be:
+Face77, Face77_camo1, Face77_camo2, Face77_camo3, Face77_camo4, Face77_camo5 and Face77_camo6
+====== Structure ======
+<code cpp>
+class CfgFaces
+{
+	class Default; // held in engine's ca_bin
+	class Man: Default
+	{
+		class Default; // held in ca_chars
+		class FaceWhatever: Default
+	{
+		name = "$STR_Whatever"; // every class, different string name
+		texture = "\some\texture\somewhere.paa"; // THE face for this
+		head = defaultHead; //classname in cfgHeads
+		material = "\some\rvmat\somewhere.rvmat";
+		disabled = false; // always TRUE for inherited camo faces
+	};
+	class OneOfSixCamos: FaceWhatever
+	{
+		/* uses the same face texture (obviously) */
+		disabled = true; // always
+		name = "$STR_UniqueName";
+		head = "alwaysOneOf6Classes"; // changes wounds
+		material = "\AlwaysOneOfSix\Different\FacePaints.rvmat";
+	}
+</code>
+One single head model is used for ALL faces. On which, a different base texture is applied for EVERY 'face'.
+Separately, each of these faces have different face paint, and they, require a separate head class to reflect the different wound appearances.
+ALL of the camo derivatives use one of six common face paints.
+Specifying \root and .paa extension are essential.
+head = inevitably leads to one, single, defaultp3d held in \ca\characters\man\defaulthead\defaulthead.p3d;
+====== Subset themes ======
+The above 107 faces are duplicated, class wise in black and green masks also a women models, and, a few face models for some special US soldiers.
+====== Adding a Face ======
+Camouflage subclasses are not required.
+<code cpp>
+class CfgFaces
+{
+	class Default; // held in engine's ca_bin
+	class Man: Default
+	{
+		class Default; // held in ca_chars
+		class FaceWhatever: Default
+		{
+			disabled = false; // should be part of default, but was overlooked
+			name = "$STR_Whatever";
+			texture = "\some\texture\somewhere.paa"; // THE face for this
+			identityTypes[] =
+			{
+				"Default",
+				"Head_USMC",
+				"Head_USMC_CO",
+				"",
+				"",
+				"Head_CDF",
+				"Head_CDF_CO",
+				"",
+				"Head_GUE",
+				"Head_CIV",
+				""
+			};
+		};
+</code>
+====== Example African (black) Faces ======
+African black faces for characters
+African names:
+<code cpp>
+class CfgWorlds
+{
+	class GenericNames
+	{
+		class PMC_Somali_Names
+		{
+			class FirstNames
+			{
+				adalberto = "Adalberto";
+				//etc
+			};
+			class LastNames
+			{
+				morales = "Morales";
+				// etc
+</code>
+Face configs:
+<code cpp>
+class CfgFaces
+{
+	class Man;
+	class PMC_Somali_Faces: Man
+	{
+		class Default
+		{
+			name = "$STR_CFG_FACES_DEFAULT";
+			texture = "\ca\characters\hhl\hhl_31_CO.paa";
+			head = "BlackHead";
+			identityTypes[] = {};
+			material = "\ca\characters\heads\male\BlackHead\data\hhl_black.rvmat";
+		};
+		class Custom: Default
+		{
+			name = "$STR_CFG_FACES_CUSTOM";
+			texture = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(0.596,0.412,0.365,1)";
+			head = "BlackHead";
+			identityTypes[] = {};
+			material = "\ca\characters\heads\male\BlackHead\data\hhl_black.rvmat";
+		};
+		class Face26: Default
+		{
+			name = "$STR_FN_Man_Face26";
+			texture = "\ca\characters\hhl\hhl_26_CO.paa";
+			disabled = 0;
+			identityTypes[] = {"Default","","","Head_USMC","Head_USMC_CO","Head_CDF","Head_CDF_CO","Head_INS","Head_GUE","Head_CIV",""};
+		};
+		class Face27: Default
+		{
+			name = "$STR_FN_Man_Face27";
+			texture = "\ca\characters\hhl\hhl_27_CO.paa";
+			disabled = 0;
+			identityTypes[] = {"Default","","","Head_USMC","Head_USMC_CO","Head_CDF","Head_CDF_CO","Head_INS","Head_GUE","Head_CIV",""};
+		};
+		// etc
+</code>
+Then in character's class you make:
+<code cpp>
+genericNames = "PMC_Somali_Names";
+faceType = "PMC_Somali_Faces";
