Breakdown of units

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Breakdown of units

Post by nukkxx5058 »

Hi, I use to have somewhere near the bottom of the screen a horizontal bar with icons (tanks, infantry, arty, etc) displaying the breakdown of units (both mine and soviets) when I was hovering the mouse over an unit. I don't have it anymore and I can't remember how I got this ? If someone could tell me which key is activating this feature ?

Thank you.

You need to put the cursor on the unit and hold for a few seconds.

Maybe you have changed something in the User preferences. Try to reset settings there to default.

From the manual:

Show Ground Element/Aircraft Icons: Select the check box to the right of the "Show Ground Element/Aircraft Icons" text to display a pop-up window at the bottom of the screen when the mouse cursor is placed over hexes with units in the map area. Icons will appear in this pop-up representing the ground elements and aircraft located in the hex along with the number of each ground element/aircraft that is in the hex. Armoured Fighting Vehicles, other combat vehicles, and aircraft are shown separately, while guns and squads are grouped according to their type. Axis icons face to the right and Soviet icons face to the left. Icons representing equipment captured since June 1941 and incorporated into units keeps its original facing. Equipment captured from other countries in campaigns previous to June 1941 (mostly Axis Allies equipment) will face the same direction as non-captured equipment. If this preference is disabled, the information can be temporarily display by pressing and holding the 'Tab' key; releasing the 'Tab' key will remove the additional information from the display. The default setting has show ground element/aircraft icons enabled. Setting the hex pop-up delay (3.3.4) to 0 will also disable the ground element/aircraft icons.
