Has this been asked before? If so, sorry - but is there a way to highlight frozen units? Thanks.

If it is like in WITW if you use the Shift-r/Unit mode function then frozen units have a white outline.

Thanks. That highlights frozen units (not isolated units)? Does it only work during the ground phase? Couldn't get it to work in the air phase. (Have yet to try it in ground phase). Maybe I'll go look at the manual...

isolated will show with a red border, but the full list is in the UI chapter of the manual

Well that button doesn't seem to highlight frozen. By frozen I mean units fixed for a certain number of turns by the scenario designer. That button - 'unit mode' - highlights isolated and static. But static is different to frozen. I can't find any way to get frozen units highlighted.

guess that isn't a unit mode as such but a scenario design decision

simple enough to find, set the unit counter to cv-mp, anything with 0 is frozen?

I think you can also spot them from the Commander's Report

Lol, Loki. I always have the counters set to cv-mp and yet - doh - I never thought that, yes, that's a very obvious way to see if they're frozen. Thanks.
