Minor imrpovements to UI

I can't praise this game enough. I have played nothing else since its release. I would request some minor changes to the user interface to make playability that much better.

1. In the production window I think you should be able to buy more than just 1 item at a time. In late game stage when logistics are low and production is high I usually buy supply trucks or AAD, but having to acknowledge the purchase before buying another of the same type is so time consuming and frustrating. Having an up/down arrow to increase/decrease quantities before hitting the buy button would be a huge improvement.

2. Again in the production window an item is selected by default. I've lost count of the number of times I've bought the wrong thing. Either have nothing selected by default or the ability to remove from the production queue if you make a mistake.

3. Having to cancel a trade agreement and then create a new one just to increase/descrease quantities is also frustrating. Again up/down arrows would be a huge improvent.

Just some thoughts for improvement, hope you don't mind.

A great game Alvaro, well done.

How about keeping the country selection the same as you go through the various windows.

Each time a different window (production, convoys, advancement, etc.) is selected there is the first country, UK or Germany, preselected.

I would like to keep the country selection the same as I go through the different windows, the previous country does not revert back to UK or Germany for the next window selection. Saves clicks.

#1 and #2 I will see if I can do

#3 there is a Control + arrow = +5, -5 adjustment.

As for the country pick....
This was already tested for use. The current way is the better way that prevents human error.

Regarding country pick – which is presently number 7 on my global irritation list – wouldn't it work if you simply hold Ctrl while switching between Build and Convoy to keep current country? Whereas a normal click works as now.

Oh, yes ... it would be super if double clicking a name in the Reports/Units list would open the Change Name dialog box. [:'(]

It would be good to be able to cancel unintended builds.

I'll take a look at these. Might be difficult to code in the current data format.
