Question about bar on counters

Post by JFalk68 »

Hello,

I have looked all over the manual but I can't seem to find out what the colored bar means that runs vertically along the left side of the counter. For example, in the N. Africa campaign most of my units have a yellow bar and a few have a red. Can anyone tell explain to me what this mean, thanks in advance :)

I'm pretty new here, but I thought those bars indicated the HQ that unit reported to.

On the same subject, does anyone know what the dot on the vertical bar means? And the horizontal bar?

I think the horizontal bar shows the readiness and the dot indicates if the unit got enough supply at the start of the turn.
