Sheesh, doing anything under the hood here is unneccessarily painful. If only there was a back button that universally worked through all the dialogues that have to be opened to change leaders, HQ support, unit command, etc. As far as non-bug fixes go, this has to be near the top of the list.

For example. I open Commanders Report as I want to look at all my leaders and replace some of them. I filter by corps HQ units, so far so good, I can see all my leaders on one list.

Then I click on one leader to look at him. This takes me to the leader dialogue. Now, to go back to my list, I have to close this dialogue, and reopen the commanders report. I might have to do this 20 times to look through my roster.

Please give me a back button.

Unfortunately Gary had problems with the interface and was not able to code a universal back button. Perhaps down the road another programmer will be able to do what Gary could not. In the meantime, you can speed things up by learning the hotkeys. In the example of going to the leader screen from the CR, all you need to do is press c (the hotkey for the CR screen) to get back to the CR screen.

When a teenage Gary Grigsby thought to himself whether to become a wargames maker, or internet browser designer, he made the right choice.

Hi all,

Please note that CR (i.e. "Commander's Report") in WitE is made by Pavel...
