What is the number in parentheses?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

What is the number in parentheses?

Post by Champagne »

I'm playing the AltVC260 grand campaign and can't figure out what some numbers mean.

Hex Pop Up Display numbers in parentheses are not clearly covered in the manual.

We get the city number, the city name and the mystery number in parentheses.

What is the meaning of this number? It's not Anti Aircraft, because that number is preceded by "AA".

Thanks.

Examples:

74 Pskov (10) -- what is (10)?

40 Smolensk (16) -- what is (16) ?

57 Bryansk (10) -- what is the (10)?

I believe that's an index of the population. Although it doesn't seem to change that I've noticed after the population flees.
Rufus T. Firefly: Do you realize our army is facing disastrous defeat? What do you intend to do about it?
Chicolini: I've done it already. I've changed to the other side.
Firefly: What are you doing over here?
Chicolini: Well, the food is better

That's true. The number doesn't change, even after enemy capture.

City population. Value doesn't change. It's the manpower "factory" that is reduced during game. Cities with pop 15+ are harder to conquer.
