Silly naming question

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).

Silly naming question

Post by countrboy »

Bit of a silly question here - is it possible to rename the German panzer corps (for example)? Instead of XXIV Panzer Corps, can the unit detail show the 24th Panzer Corps?

I don't count much in Roman numerals these days and it would make it easier for me to remember what I'm trying to do if I can remember the Corps' name. Maybe there's a simple setting somewhere I just don't know about?
Cheers

Not with the scenarios that come built in to the games. There is a game editor to create new scenarios of your own. So you could take in one of the built in ones and edit the names. But if playing another person you would need their agreement to play the scenario you created. I di not believe there is any way to change the names of units in an ongoing game.

Ok thanks Telemecus. It's not the end of the world obviously, but when I see XXIV Panzer Corps I don't see the 24th Panzer Corps, I see the X X I V Panzer Corps...which confuses me when there's also the X X X I V Panzer Corps and then I have no idea who is meant to be going where.....

I really wish it were possible. I also have trouble with Roman numerals and wish I could convert them to Arabic.

An option to replace the numerator with the name of the leader would be ideal - as in Manstein Panzer Corps or Scmidt Panzer Corps. It would also allow you quickly to know who was the leader at the same time. Although informal, historically formations were very often named after or as being in possesion of their commander.

Or just call the armies after their colors. Green army, blue army etc. I do anyway.
