Inventory Briefing.

Expanding on the original question, is there a way to view total enemy kills for a scenario? Sorry, I'd try to find it myself but don't have access to my gaming pic for a couple of days...

Curtis Lemay's answer was the right one, but kind of 'short'

I'll fill in. The Inventory Briefing button on reports panel will open up your replacements panel. It tracks here the TOTAL losses for YOUR side.

If you want to see the ENEMIES losses, you can do that. However, you will have to win or lose first, then you can select any unit on the map, yours or other side, and open this same panel, and it will report the total losses for that side, for the entire battle.

Now if you want to check enemy "current" losses, you can do that too, but it is cheating. You can save, change the computer AI setting (which you can anytime), advance to next turn, which is other side, and then check this panel.

But that is cheating, you'll see everything on other side! I would just wait till battle is over before checking enemy loss.

Besides, its only the accountant in you that wants to know, and that itch should wait for end of battle

You COULD get one of those yellow notepads and keep track of the losses from each battle
and add them up to generate the total enemy losses of what kind of equipment etc. but it
would be tedius and error prone. I can't think of a way other than cheating.

Now that is accountantsidous syndrome in the extreme. Don't forget the pocket protector!

thanks

I got a much better idea. I recall you had a little program for TOAW III, battle report, that generated reports in .XLS Any idea if you can fiddle around with it and make it work for TOAW IV?
