Request for a couple of charts to be included in game

[jpinard]

I hope now that you have the interface well under way that it might be relatively easy to add a few static screens of information into the game. I would suggest a button for Charts be placed in the extra space available in the War Map screen or the upcoming Reports screen. The reason for this is multi-fold:

#1 - Despite Bill making a beautiful manual, you know half the people who buy this will refuse to read it. Of those, many will read and not retain much of it. This can/does create a lots of confusion or angst for those that misinterpret parts of the game that could be easily rectified by adding a few charts to help them out.
#2 - Not just for newbies [:)] I am having to scroll through the manual to check the charts below, and I know when I spend more than a few days away from the game I will forget the keywords I'm using to search the pdf manual etc making re-looking them up slower.
#3 - It will be welcomed by data junkies.
#4 - It will help review scores.

The charts that I think should be included in a "Charts" submenu (in order of most important to least important):

* Glossary of Terms Table (Page 40)
* Resource MPP Values Table (Page 115-116)
* Supply and Action Points Table (Page 124)
* Entrenchment Defense Loss Table (Page 130)
* Supply & Reinforcements Table (Page 124-125)
* Naval Supply and Action Points Table (Page 124)
* HQ Supply Table (Page 122-123)
* Seasons Table (Page 76)

Yes, I know we can just make our own extra PDF to splice out the information I requested. But thinking of the average game player as a whole, I think having this "in-game" will not only help people learn the game, but will help lower confusion in many circumstances that some might blame on the game as bugs. I'm sure as people play they will have questions like (I have too):

... Why aren't my attacks lowering the enemy entrenchment value?
... Why will my unit barely move - I'm not on a mountain!?
... What does NM mean?
... Why can't I get my unit back to 10?
... How many MPP is xxx hex making my enemy?
... Why is the supply of hexes xxx so bad?

I love this idea.
It would be nice to have an extra pulldown menu with some charts to click.

Edit: I tried to upload a mockup picture, but it seems the upload mechanism is bugged atm.

Ohhh I'd love to see that! Uploads are maxed out at a paltry 200k, was it under that? You could post an IMGUR link.
