how to read combat full report vs. combat chart ?

Post by eyemooneye »

can anyone help to explain how to read combat full report and corresponding combat chart?
I have several questions for the full report:

1. Red 5th Inf Div, 5th Inf Div supports the attack [FC, R10]: check the combat chart, it starts on R8 and finish on R9, why report says R10?
2. Red 6th Inf Div, 6/3 attacks [FC, R6]: check the combat chart, it breaks off(BO) from R2, where is the attack on R6?
3. Red continue attck to round 16: as long as I know, there are 10 rounds within the timestamp, why report says round 16?

First, the Combat Report info in brackets, [FC, R10] etc., are codes necessary to make the Combat Chart. They have no meaning in the Combat Report itself.

Second, the Combat Chart is a new feature that has some issues now and then (for example, any mention of round 16). Hopefully I can improve it before the update is done.

I noticed many times issues with the combat report. Very rarely I actually read it. I do put attention into studying battles that happened, but I mainly just check the chart and carefully inspect how the map looks like (I learned most by playing hotseat against myself or AI and no fog of war and could watch and inspect both sides).

Best regards and good luck :)
