Even better than that! The game will automatically upload these files to Matrix at the end of your turn. Erik Rutins will personally compile and print them for you and then send them to you using an overnight express service so you have them in time to read with your morning coffee the next day. How is that for service! Oh wait ... it's April 1st isn't it. [:'(]
Actually I don't think any of these reports are saved separately and there is no in-game print capability at this point.

How accurate are these reports?
IOW, what is the FOW effect on the various reports?

I just noticed in these combat displays by dlazov66 that the AT assets of the infantry units are not displayed. Are they part of the Artillery count? Seems to me a seperate AT asset will tell you whether the unit will stand against and armored attack.

I imagine they will be accurate for the side you are playing due to the length of the turns. I would have thought there would be enough time to gather in casualty and equipment losses. Maybe FOW in a game where each turn was one day to simulate battlefield conditions would be great but I can't see it working in this one.
However it would be a good idea for FOW to be used when it comes to viewing the enemy losses.

After a week, enemy losses would also be fairly clear, so FOW on all losses doesn't sound like a very good idea due to the scale.

I like the flags, but I'd be worried about having backgrounds behind the text as the text might become very difficult to read.
Hi Joel,
How about something like this behind the combat report screen?
I know some countries have a problem showing the Hakenkreuz, but this would not show it in the full form.

You won't see even part of a swastika in the game I'm sure.

Hum, I like it. But as has been said before will it fly in other "certain" countries...

They look like the flags from a Panzer Campaign mod.

Correct Wodin, they are borrowed from Jison's excellent MapMod for the PzC's series. If there was any interest in them i would cantact Jison for his approval.

Is there a difference between a paradrop brigade and an airborne brigade?

lol, I was going to mention that (that the name should be changed)
but, yea, in this case they about the same thing (maybe it's name loses something in translation)

Seems straight forward, the unit is named 10th Airborne Brigade and its type is Paradrop. [:)]

@HS
Were those destroyed AA battalions discrete assets? I thought WITE plays on a divisional level and doesn't know smaller entities.
