Pop-up in actual combat would be nice.

I'm also, often, missing the information on generals killed, not because it's not there, but because I tend to tire on reading all the reports.

This doesn't look like any turn-to-turn report available to me! What is the scenario description stuff doing in a in-game report?!

I want a POP-UP that halts play and appears on screen WHEN IT HAPPENS THAT MUST BE CLICKED AWAY BY PLAYER (**so it wont be missed** during a long AI turn) ... AND ... a report on the "Reports and Statistics" pop-up at the beginning of each turn.

They're giving me a paper bag to re-breath in to.

By the way, did you notice the great new report made by Alvaro about leaders?

Very useful

This thread! With more than a few things in the world to get angry/upset about, complaining about not getting the information about a minor aspect of a video game BECAUSE I CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO READ A HALF PAGE SUMMARY REPORT seems ... Well, just fill in the blank.

However, it is human nature. When someone is worried about something really bad but which they cannot control, it is very common to take the frustration out on something/someone else over which that person thinks they have, or can have, more control. For rather more extreme examples than one expects to see in wargames fora, just look at the posts above giving the numbers of generals who were executed by Stalin and Hitler during WWII.

So far in my game v6 Europe: early Italian Option mid-1943 both von Kuchler and Albert Kesselring have been killed in action (Why not Ernst Busch?!).
I did not get notified of Kuchler's death at all nor was it in the turn-to-turn 'report and statistics,' likewise I did not get informed of Kesselring's death but I did spot it mid-turn, in the 'report and statistics,' the word "killed" in red font. The report and statistics box updates minute-by-minute within a turn.
