Flyout display

Post by Kamino72 »

Hello everybody,

I have bought this amazing game 4 years ago and I am starting to really dig it (I have played the board version 20 years ago).

There is one feature I can't put my finger on : the flyout display. I have seen a lot AAR screenshots with one or several small boxes called "Flyout" allowing to display the lists of units in an hex.

How can I do that myself ?

Regards
K.

Hello Kamino72. Just double click on any piece of land (without units in) and then hover over your stacks - eh voila!

And if you double left click on any empty sea hex then you open the nifty naval review form.

I don't believe so no. For AAR purposes I rarely do this as its fiddly and time consuming but you can cut and paste previously called up and copied flyouts.
