WITE2 Screen Guides

Post by Der Kuenstler »

This thread will contain some screen guides. Most of the information will also be found in the manual, but hopefully presented in a more simple and visual way. Feel free to point out any corrections that are needed or insights you have - I can easily edit each guide on my end and re-post.

Many thanks to Wiedrock and K62, who have agreed to add their knowledge and insight to the guides.

Very good information, Kuenstler, thanks. That part was quite confusing.

This screen comes up at the start of a new turn, unless you turn that off in Preferences. You can also find it at the end of the INFO SCREENS tab.

Thanks for the encouraging feedback, guys! This is the Order of Battle screen. The left side is pretty intuitive, so I'm only showing the right side below.

Bravo!
Could you add a commented screen of the production menu ?

Here is the production screen - if you have a particular screen you want to see done, let me know. That way we know we are making the most useful ones.

ar: xx = maximum build number per production turn

ar: need = maximum build number if needed

It has nothing to do with Armament Points (which should be considered as redundant in WiTE2?)

Foch : This is not peace. This is a 20 year armistice.

The "ar, af, ch" is the source and the ":123" & ":need" is the amount.

and fyi, Units count has a slight anomaly to it as it is a count of how many times that Element is mapped in a specific units TOE. For example in a Panzer Div if a PzIIIf is mapped as a Medium Tank and a CS Tank then that adds 2 to the count for PzIIIf. Probably a bug but not really hurting anyone.
