(You can download these files from the thread about the modding handbook, but I don't know if they are up to date)
You can add your custom leaders in this DB, export it as csv file and then use the CSV splitter program to create the unit and model files.
To add new leaders to a scenario you have to edit the xls-file of the scenario, export it as csv and convert it with the CSV splitter.
If you tell me what exactly you want to do I will give you a step-by-step explanation.

As I understand you want to modify the 1775 campaign with the alternative setup and add some leader/units.
Do these leader already exist in BoA or do you want to create new ones?
Do you want to add them to the start setup of the campaign or add them by events?
[...]These might mitigate the command problems the Rebels have at the start. Something I want to test before submitting it to the 'BOA FAMILY' at large.

did you get an error message when processing the script.ini with the game?
If yes, the script log would be helpful.
Dear developers: Is the downloadable BoA DB the most recent one?
I won't have time to take a close look to your scenario today, sorry. (But tomorrow, I hope.)
Cheers,
Norbert

Sorry, I don't have the game here to try (thought the matter was solved so didn't looked at this yesterday) but have you copied the new alias file to the correct directory (...\BoA\Aliases\)?
Cheers,
