Logistics

Gary Grigsby’s War in the West 1943-45 is the most ambitious and detailed computer wargame on the Western Front of World War II ever made. Starting with the Summer 1943 invasions of Sicily and Italy and proceeding through the invasions of France and the drive into Germany, War in the West brings you all the Allied campaigns in Western Europe and the capability to re-fight the Western Front according to your plan.

Two things

What are the four coloured vertical bars for above the depot symbol. Searched section 20.1.6 Depots and can find nothing?

Can't get Hotkey 8 to do anything! Does it only wotk on full campaigns?

If you hover the mouse over the depot with the logistics button switched on the pop up tells you. It's basically a breakdown of what the depot received/sent out plus its capacity etc

I suspected it did have something to do with supply but there's nothing in the manual.

covered in the relevant one page guide - always a good idea to review those for how to interpret things.

'8' key should work in any scenario, you may need to have the logistics display mode enabled? (not sure about this - but I tend to use them in combination)

Keep forgetting about those things.

Tried 8 key with logisics on/off and I cannot get it to work. Will have another look later.
