Battle Result Screen ??

The development team behind the award-winning games Decisive Campaigns: From Warsaw To Paris and Advanced Tactics is back with a new and improved game engine that focuses on the decisive year and theater of World War II! Decisive Campaigns: Case Blue simulates the German drive to Stalingrad and into the Caucasus of the summer of 1942, as well as its May preludes (2nd Kharkov offensive, Operation Trappenjagd) and also the Soviet winter counter-offensive (Operation Uranus) that ended with the encirclement of 6th Army in Stalingrad and the destruction of the axis minor armies. With many improvements including the PBEM++ system, this is a release to watch for wargamers!

Battle Result Screen ??

Post by abulbulian »

I was hoping this would be improved over WtP. Maybe it's just me, but there seems to be way too much information about stuff I don't care about and not anything concise to show me just the end results. I mean do people really look at each result round for round?

What the heck are the #'s?? I understand red is a kill and white a retreat. But is one plane kill one plane, one troop, one tank, one arty? Doesn't seem like it, because when I go to the stats I can see it was more.


If somebody could help me out as to how the battle results screen can be used effectively to understand what was lost and killed, would be appreciated. Am I the only one that really feels this part of the game needs help?

Can we bring back the Advance Tactics displays, PLEASE. IMO that was very useful info in the text part of it. Could see everything I wanted and quickly.

I must be missing something in a preference? This can't be the way people are viewing battle results...

Ok, think now I understand a little more. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

1 on battle report means by type:

- inf = 100 men
- gun, plane, tank = 5 units

- Alpha/Beta Tester WitW and WitE2

That sounds basically right to me. There are a couple unit types where the ratio is a bit different; halftracks, say? But mostly it's inf=100, other stuff=5.

I always assumed a Red number was a kill. I have no idea what the white number means, it is a retreat?

red numbers are kills, albulian has the numbers right.
white numbers are survivors or retreats, depending on the column they are in.
