Spawning a Random Group

In the Editor what do i do to spawn a random group. I want my sub to reach its patrol area, and then have a convoy spawn. What are the steps involved in that? Thanks in advance for any help.

CinC Battleforce,
I'm not sure you can do that. The triggers in this editor are practically useless. You could add a Rendomly Generated Group near your patrol area and it would generate something depending on what you tell it to do. I did try using a map zone for the patrol area and set it as the trigger for a RGG and the RGG was there but I think it generated itself, because the time was set to 1 hr and It took more time than that to check it oul.
One thing I did notice, I set the Random group up with four Japanese Merchants and when I sunk the first one, it said Neutral unit destroyed. It had a Jap flag and I set it up as Jap but the game called it neutral. ??
