● 1 – General (on the left side) and HQ/Detachment (right side), with
indication of its values and, possibly, special abilities.
● 2 – Reserves: if the stack has a HQ (not for detachments), a
semi-transparent reserve box is displayed at the centre of the screen.
You can enlarge it to see its content by clicking on the + symbol (may
hold 0 to 6 combat units on average).
● 3 – Missions: for some units (HQ, Planes, Ships), specific missions
are possible. The buttons displayed here allow you to assign a
mission to the relevant unit. Another click on the button cancels the
mission.
● 4 – Units: displayed in square “counters”: usually they are army corps
(combat units), warship squadrons, or support units (heavy artillery,
tanks, air squadrons). See below for details
● 5 – Movement Type: on top of the unit panel there are 4 buttons that
allow you to select the type of movement the unit stack will use:
normal, administrative (doubled but no combat), naval transport or
railroad transport. These buttons will appear only when the Force
has been activated for movement.
The Unit Panel arranges and displays unit counters belonging to the Force
you selected. Arrow buttons to the right of the Unit Panel allow you to scroll
Land Combat Unit
through the row of units counters making up the Force. Only one Force can
be viewed at a time.
If multiple Forces are present in the same location on the game map, these
are displayed as ‘bars’ under the unit sprite displayed on the map in the
concerned region. These additional Forces can be viewed by clicking on
their respective bars. Another way to browse the units stacked inside an
area is to right-click on the stack displayed on the map, or to hit the space
bar on the keyboard.
5.2 Unit Information
The term “unit” refers to military formations that are represented by a
single stack/on-map sprite and can be moved independently on the game
map. Units can vary in size from full Corps to Divisions, Air or Naval
Squadrons, artillery batteries, Army HQs, and even individual Leaders.
Note that size and strength are two different concepts.
When displayed on the Unit Panel, a unit is identified by a “counter” that
shows information specific to the unit. This information includes (see below,
from left to right and top to bottom):
● Red circle with the firepower value, a bonus to combat rolls (from 0 to +3)
● A yellow stripe where the army number is shown if the unit is assigned to it (empty for independent units)
● NATO symbol showing the type of unit
● Morale status of unit, shown as a flag of varying colour (from best to worst: Orange – Elite, Purple – Veteran,
Yellow – Active, Gray – Reservist, White – Mobilised)
· ● Name of Unit
· ● A plate showing the offensive and defensive values of the unit, as well as its movement potential (in Movement Points).
