The Competition & Teaser Thread

[Strela]

Hi All,

We got a new build today - possibly one of the last before release!!!


Though aesthetic, John has fixed an issue that had niggled me. The new code now displays the formation name much more logically.

Two key changes have been made. When two or more platoons/sections are combined they now display the next highest formation name rather than the superfluous name of the first platoon in the combined unit. Secondly as a real play aid, the number of units combined has been moved to the front of the counter in place of the old +++. This provides the player with information that previously was only on the back of the unit data.

Below you can see both the old and new format of reporting. The first unit group shows a company that has both panzer grenadier platoons and MG sections. In both cases they use the name from the first platoon/section and the +++ to indicate they are combined units.

In the new format both units use the company name (the superfluous platoon number is dropped) and the component counts of three & two respectively are shown. On the back of the unit card the component count has been moved to the company line.





Looking at the below two examples the first is the normal numbering when there are no grouped units and the second stack when only some of the components are combined.
