Question....

[GBS]

What is the purpose of the warning that a unit's strength is to low to perform the order given it? I have noticed arty units given a bombard order to show this warning and then go ahead with the bombardment any way. makes me wonder if other units attempt to execute an order even when this warning is given.
Is the warning given automaticly when a unit's % strength drops below a certain threshold?
Is it simply a warning to the player that a particular unit's strength is low?
If so can it be turned off?

Thanks in advance.

I think that the 'below strength' message is just a warning that your unit is some % less than full strength, and little really to do with it's ability to get the job done.

Some of these 'routine' warnings are a bit annoying, like "unit has completed it's move" just by passing a waypoint and "unable to complete it's move" just because you changed it's order. You can change your warning level to 'urgent' by the toggle.

"unable to complete it's move" just because you changed it's order.

That is extremely annoying.
It serves no purpose.
It first it makes me think the move was stopped by an unforseen circumstance.
I have to waste time investigating.
Please remove this message in the next patch.

I for once appreciate to know if a unit is unable to execute and fullfill its order, and add to my situational awareness.

A rule of thumb says that a unit counts as out of action if it has suffered more than 30% losses on personnel and equipment. What is the strenght level in Bftb when the commanders starts to complain?

You miss-understand.

Give a unit an order and before it completes the order you have new information and so you give it a new order.

I get a message "unable to complete the first order". It is annoying.
