High Message Details Doesn't Show Attack/ Defense Values?

Post by NavalNewZ »

In the WWII Campaign Series, high message details option shows attack and defense vaules for the combat. In this Middle East title it only seems to give the outcome. Is this just the norm now for this title?

If you have any Fog of War settings on, it won't show.

If I select 'No Fog of War' in the 'set up new scenario' box, I still don't see any attack/defend factors in the Damage results box.

I see it shows you all the details when you assault with No FOW on, but not when firing.

Thanks for the report, I will check with previous versions if it was like this with them, too.

It has certaintly become more complex over the time, from coding pov. There are now four FOW levels; without, regular, enhanced, and enhanced + enhanced reporting.

I tried to make those more obvious to use with the new Scenario Setup dialog. It is possible there were unintended consequences in this manner. I will investigate.

Confirmed, it was like this already with Vietnam 1.0 (Jan 22). I don't have earlier ME versions on my disk, but VN and ME share the same codebase.

Edit, also with ME 2.30 (June 23). So not something I did with this version laughs
