icon list

[Alex777]

I understand that someone has an up-to-date list of all of the icons in the game and their meaning. Since it does not appear in my version of the Manual (the latest one, posted along with v. 1.09), can this list be posted somewhere? Thanks!

BoA is a great game - THE wargame of 2006, IMHO. It's good to see it getting more exposure through
Matrix!

And now, how about the scenario covering the whole War of 1812? Last I heard, it would be coming in the "spring"?

It's out now with v1.10d (an 1813 scen that is).

Hold one you meant the whole War of 1812? That would be nice to see.

We have plans for an Add-on next Spring indeed, and with it will come a 1812-1814 campaign. Historical research has started on our forums.

Yep, the 1813 scenario is included in the version for sale in our online store.

[Alex777]

Yes, I have the 1813 scenario, and it's a good one - quite evenly balanced. I look forward to the entire War in the Add-on.

Thanks, Pocus, but that is not what I had in mind. I am referring to the icons appearing from time to time on the map and on armies & fleets. For example, what does the blue shield mean when it appears on the map? Or the "scissors" icon on an army?

[Pocus]

ah ok understood. I will ask if there is a compiled list around but I'm unsure.

The stamps are either showing the posture of your army, or the special orders. So for posture you have red, orange, blue and green stamps (for assault, offensive, defensive and passive), and for special orders you have the reproduction of the special orders that you see in the bottom panel, when you select a group of unit.

Scissors mean that you are intercepting an army also.

Btw Alex, go to your BoA directory and you'll see a folder called "Docs". There you'll find 3 full color printable charts (Word docs) covering leaders, units and structures - their icons and abilities.

Hi Philippe. yes a full icon chart would be helpful if not around already.

[LMUBill]

According to the manual there is a PDF with all the icon information on the CD, but it apparently is NOT included with the download version. That's what Alex777 was refering to.

[Pocus]

I'm unsure this is what you seek:

http://www.ageod.com/download_patches/English_docs.zip

Because there is not into the list of icons. At least you can get the list of leaders and units!

Yes, that's the one!&nbsp; It's referred to on p. 37 of the revised Manual.&nbsp; The download in the previous post does not include it; neither does the download version of the game.
