I know this is a stupid question, but...

SPWaW is a tactical squad-level World War II game on single platoon or up to an entire battalion through Europe and the Pacific (1939 to 1945).

Newbie here! Anyway, in the Unit Menu screen, what is indicated in the column "Shots" (ie, what does a green "6" : white "5") mean. Also, in the Battle Screen, in the lower left corner, what does "Shots 6:6:-:-:" mean. I know these are stupid questions, but I offer many thanks in return.

The numbers correspond to the weapons slots. 6:6:3 means you have six shots left for weapons 1 and 2 and only 3 shots for the weapon in the third slot.

What about firing specific weapons? I hit the button for specific weapon, but it never asked what specific weapon and when I fired, they all fired any way.

Moonpie, right click on a unit. When the weapons choices appear in the screen, click on the weapons you do NOT want to fire. Their name will turn red. They won't fire again till you right click on a unit and change it back.

This way you can fire MGs on a tank without using the main weapon or vice/versa, or save your demo charges for a better target.
