Unit diamonds?

Post by ineffable »

What are the diamonds shown above the unit icons in Debrief an Force selection? This may have been answered. Ive combed the manual and cant find it. I guessing the cross means understrength, the broken heart = broken morale, but I have no clue what the 2 black bars and white i mean (||i). Are there any more Im missing?

They are warning icons that indicate if a team is under strength, low morale, or low on ammo. You can see then in the tool tips on the Force Selection screen to match icon with meaning.

If you're looking at them from the Soldier screen via Debrief you won't see tool tips but the post-battle state may improve after going through Planning and back to Force Select again in any case.
