One comment regarding the NRD form itself: I would suggest that the radio button option 'Nada', assuming selecting it means that players do not want to see either unit status or section, be revised to 'None'. If duplication is a concern, then perhaps 'N/A' would be a good second choice. Nada just seems so... colloquial.

Unrelated to the NRD form but a potential issue, the CV classes seem too high. E.g. in post 1888 the Saratoga and Enterprise should have CV classes of 4, not 6, and the Bunker Hill and Essex should have CV classes of 5, not 7. The CVLs are also too big but I don't know off the top of my head whether they should be class 1 or class 2.

ctrl-left click seem not user friendly. Should left click select path, right click move fleet to selected destination better?

CV counters don't have their upgrades listed on the back of the counters. These are mentioned in the rules. My group plays with CVPs to boot, so no wonder it all seemed so unusual.

And the change from 'Nada' to 'Nothing' in the unit list options of the NRD form looks great. Would 'Both' be better than the 'S[tatus] + S[ection]' entry in that list?

// ****************************************************************************
function TNavalUnit.GetAirCapacity: Byte;
begin
  if UnitType in CarrierSet then
	begin
  	Result := GetLongValue(NavalData0, BombardmentMask, BombardmentShift);

    if not OptRules.CarrierPlanes then
    begin
	    if Game.Date.Year >= 1944 then Inc(Result, 2)
   	  else if Game.Date.Year >= 1942 then Inc(Result);
    end;
  end
  else Result := 0;
end;

There is some rule about increasing the class of older carrier units at some point(s?) in time. That only applies when NOT playing with the optional carrier air units. In the program this is only a few lines of code:

Isn't that incorrect? Older CV's get an increase in class when you ARE playing with CVP's right? Or did I hit my head on too many hard objects this morning!

Therefore the more 'difficult' Ctrl-left click seems to me to be appropriate.

EDIT: For clarity.

How about shift-click? And/or to be able to click one sea-zone/hex at a time if wanted? (Instead of having to assign a final destination at once)

How about marking the units with a big phat red stripe right across the chit, just over the name of the unit ?
And then use a white one for japan ?
Unsubtle, but definate..

Just a note that I might appear somewhat brusque in my replies (or lack thereof) to suggestions. That is not intentional, just one of my personality defects.

I do read all suggestions seriously and throw them into my mix of thoughts & ideas on the game. Some ideas may have zero apparent impact on what I am doing until months later, when they resurface in a modified form.

The only missing piece is the Task Force (TFs) which will not be part of the initial release - they are a convenience for moving groups of naval units, and nothing more than that.

I someone puts up a global map with units on it (if that's possible and perhaps without the sea area labels), maybe from a Global War scenario in about 1942/43, I'll make a spherical map and generate images from it. That should look pretty cool, with the Eastern Front and Japanese empire etc.
