Having it accessible as a pull down menu during the planning phase could be often very useful. Or maybe I'm just too anal.


In this case, we're two ! ;) :D

How come I never see you guys at any of the Anals Anonymous meetings? It gets lonely when I'm the only one there.

Hmmm, maybe I should start the 12-step program myself....

In terms of TD, and especially when this gets to WITP, I know I'd like to have a way during the turn to review the spotting reports of the last turn. The log of the messages you refer to would work. Even nicer might be ...

a) spotting report that I can pull down access that has just the spotting information from the last turn available for review

b) on-map display. Somewhere a button I can click that puts all the icons for the previous turns spotting up on the map. Then I can click on an icon for details.

c) on my friendly TF's, some information about whether the TF is currently spotted would be nice. So when I pull up the Sub TF during my turn, I can immediately check whether its spotted and thus should be moved.

It just always seems strange to me that I've got this powerful computer on my desk, and here I am making notes about which TF's are spotted on the back of some unpaid bill.

When's that next meeting?

I just think this is hilarious :D But it would make watching those messages more interesting.

Re. AA meetings. Could someone please post the EXACT start times (please use military times (GMT)), proposed agenda, dress code and which version of Robert's Rules of Order will be utilized. A special request...please please no blue ink pens (black only) and I assume we all could agree to use the Justinian calender system with the modern leap year agreement (that is a Feb 29th every year which is a multiple of 4 except the even century years (even-century rule excepted every 4 centuries (even multiples of 400). As the millenium exception to every 4th century exception is somewhat controversial, I propose that ..........

Agreed. If I really care about how many kills my pilots have, I can look at the pilot rooster. During combat resolution it would be enough to display the pilot who got his fifth kill and made ace.

I don't agree to remove the transport plane messages. They have been reduced to an acceptable level already and serve as a useful reminder to check transport squadrons for fatigue. Without a message at all I'd tend to forget about them.
Same for Recon mission, albeit the sound is a bit too long and IIRC the message is unnecessarily displayed twice per sequence.
