I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed...can someone please tell me what the numbers on white in the vertical bars represent? Also, not sure what the Gray/Blue colors in the bars mean either.

If you're gray, and the bar is mostly blue, you are losing.

Other than that, I have no clue.

The numbers are the unmodified combat value of the forces currently committed to the battle (infantry unit = 8, militia = 6, etc. per the unit data screen).

They are a visual indication of the relative forces involved as shown by the numbers. The higher the number, the higher the bar relative to the other side's bar.
