Detailed Combat Report

Post by takati97realm »

Detailed combat report and display of bonus being passed to subordinates?

From the manual "The bonuses given in this section apply both to the brigade to which a general is directly attached, and also to any brigades in a military group directly under his command."

In a different thread I posed a similar question and there was the following response:

"Yes, turn on the combat reports and you'll see."

I'm aware of when you hover the mouse over the general picture you get "stats" like combat bonus. There is/was the after combat report showing morale and such. Then there is/was that army guy at the top of the screen showing the overall combat.

How do you turn on the "combat report". I was curious to know if there was a screen/display of some short that shows a commanders influence over all subordinates in detailed combat.

If there was a division and Corps and Army. Is there a modifier for a single star general attached to the brigade, and then modifiers passed down from the division commander, Corps, and Army? From my quick overview read of the manual it appears with the appropriate star general for the container, the effects/modifiers are passed down.

But again, could someone kindly(or rudely if they prefer) point out a screen within detailed combat that shows what influences are being passed down the chain of command. Thanks for your time.

This is from the patch "ReadMe" file, describing one of the additions to patch 1.9.23:

"Added an “Attack Report” that can be turned on via the Advanced menu during detailed
battles to show the effects of all modifiers to the casualties and morale damage of a fire
attack."

This should help you figure things out. If not, feel free to seek further clarifications.

I'm sure that will help.

It probably would help if I tried the new patch too, instead of "total recall" of past plays with old/past patched versions.

Thanks!
