Hello...

Some interesting feedback, eh? I really like the idea of an approximation as to the number of 'units' remaining in an organization. The 1x or 1xx or 1xx type of display would, I think, be an improvement over the current supplied data. At least it could be an option that could be selected for the game being played.

While we are at it, about options... I think, that it would be a good idea to be able to change the options selected for a game while the game is in progress. Of course, for 'safety sake', the fact that an option had been changed should be flagged during the subsequent players turn!

As to 'surrender', I think it might be a good option too! I mean currently, you either spend the time to 'hunt' down the remainder of units or ignore them. But, as far as the remaining forces of a unit being a viable organization, able to conduct operations, there could be a limit as to how long that is in effect. Setting the level at which the 'surrender' takes place would allow the event to take place in a manner that could be more realistic as regards certain forces that where encountered in the field!? Once the 'surrender level' is reached a 'check' as to if it surrenders could be made according to the players preference. Say every turn or once a day, or the proximity of enemy units, adjacent, assaulting or such situations. Other things like being in communication with an HQ could all be in effect there.

Left behind forces of a unit could pose a headache for security of surrounding enemy units to be sure. But, if the number of the reduced, surrounded units is so small in comparison to the enemy units then maybe a surrender would be in order. Less than 10 men remaining from a company or battalion would have relatively no discernable impact on an enemy company or battalion, would it? A nuisance to be sure but no real threat to the 'intact' units ability to conduct operations.

Thanks for participating in the discussion.
