Thanks for your kind words, Orm!

I don't have that much to show this week, but I have created the "Detailed Instructions" menu which would be referenced from the "Replacements" enactment itself. As a reminder, this is what that particular enactment menu would look like:


This is similar as what was posted on Dec. 22, but the above version is for "land troops" rather than naval forces.

If you decide to modify the instructions by clicking on "Detailed Instructions" you will get a menu similar to this one:


This does show the scarcity of usable manpower. Of course, manpower can be drawn from a wider area than an Operational Theater. It just costs more money to get the recruits where they are needed.

I'll try to post some additional screenshots by next weekend. I see now that the new Theater Report Dialog is going to need some additional information in it. Right now, there is nothing about manpower for recruiting.

OK, I have added some detail to the Theater Report dialogs. I also made them available from the control maps used in the first department of the Administrative Interface. To help the players realize this, I also added underlining/link highlighting as well as an ellipsis after the area's name. Here is an example with Gallia selected in the "Imperium" department:


Of course, clicking on the underlined button will bring up the report dialog:


This shows manpower, although the percent of volunteers is probably too high. It might be closer to zero at this point in history. I'll need to revisit that in the near future.
