Small list of Oddities/Bugs regarding the Combat Resolution Window (CRW) which may be confusing or missleading.
If there's more to be added, let me know.

TOTALS are missleadingly large see
see first section of the picture below

DESTROYED (DAMAGED) checkbox shall not be used in the 'Ground Losses' Tab (this "doubles" the numbers). see
see second section of the picture above
Decimals for HPE are missleading see
As can be seen below, zeros are arbitrarily left out of being visualized, interestingly the sorting works using the actual number, so it's just a visual bug "leaving out 0".
The visuals are correct when there are 2 decimals, when there is only one decimal and that one isn't "0", then there's a "0" missing before/(left of) the one shown decimal.

FPE for "negative RoF" guns may be missleading

Retreating side's "lost" number may be slightly missleading
Parts of that number may be escaping and directly put into the Manpower Pool without them being mentioned as escaped.

GROUND HQ number includes all Units with any SUs attached. see
Also see picture above, German side listing 3 Ground HQs while only one HQ is actually present.

Force numbers are missleading
The white numbers include DAMaged (and DISrupted - but they are another matter) elements and their manpower, so using the "Detail-Less" Combat resolution window, at the top of the picture below, likely gives a wrong impression about the actual combat capability of a force. see pic below

Fort reduction indicators do not provide info if they actually managed to reduced a fort level.
Note: Each Fort level has 50HP/Points, this Combat indicator shows exactly the number of those reduced. In other UI elements you then need to use percentages, which makes each "HP" be 2%.
To get proper info you either:
- Look up the Defender Hex Fortification percentage in the Hex Tooltip before Combat and apply the math yourself (one point shown behind the Artillery/Engineer logo is 2% of a fort level).
- change Combat "Message Level" to a higher level where this reductions are shown.
- use the export combat CSV option and look up the CSV export.
- Generally (except in cases where there was a Fort level 4/5 before in the Hex) if the enemy has a Fort lvl 3 and you get Artillery+Engineer to be 6 or larger, then one fort level was reduced before final CV calculations.
Examples:
- In the "worst case" you could attack with masses of Pioneer SUs, giving you a "30" but not actually reducing a fort level by doing so because Soviets started with a Fort Level of 190% and you only managed to reduce it to 190-30*2=130% [Fort 1(+30%)]
- Often a Fort Level will be Level+10% (especially for Germans in good terrain). To reduce one fort level you therefore need "6" value to get the Fort reduced by one [2(+10%)→1(+98%)] before final combat CV calculations. Only achieving 5 in this case would get it to exactly X and therefore not reduce the fort level.
