An option for decimals would be best. I have learned to live without it, but there are times.

One thing I would like is a function key to highlight all units that could use replacements. It is burdensome to have to click down a long line each turn looking for damaged units. If someone knows an easier way to do this I would love to know it.

I'm sure that that is what you prefer, but as with communism, what you'd like is not compatable with reality.

Don't use a decimal point on the display.

Instead of showing 2.7 strength, or 2 strength rounded down...   Just show 27.  Problem solved.

I'd rather see a 27-6 unit  than the other options.   Just take the decimal out of the display part if it can be done without screwing anything else up.

That's all well and fine until numbers into the hundreds show up with German corps, especially armored corps, at higher levels.

IIRC, a typical armored corps with a leader, in my last game, had a strength in the low 30's thus showing up as the 300's if the decimal is removed.

But frankly, I would rather have that than the decimals back.

In fact, tomorrow I will try using numbers by the hundreds, just to see how it looks.

Options give us options!

Personally I prefer the cleaner no decimal look.

Still, If WI team chooses to walk the road less traveled.

Why not add one more degree of "zooming in" that shows a large enough unit to display the actual unit strength?

Now that would qualify as a bell and a whistle.

  Ration strengths and vehicle numbers both?
Certainly the latter for German ToEs would be highly variable, even when at full strength.

Actually, if you were quickly dividing the previous numbers (with the decimals in them) then it'd be one step less by dropping the decimals.

Of course, rounded off, you're not getting any accuracy.

Anyway, if we have the choice, everybody would be happy.

However I like the clean look on the counters.

I want to see the exact stats.
