Status: offline 		My apologies if the manual explains this (I have only read through page 49), but what do the tri-colored bars (red, blue, green) on the stack counters represent? I understand the meaning of the purple (cohesion) and aqua-marine (manpower) bars on unit counters, but have found no reference yet to the bars on stack counters. Thanks.

I asked this on the AGEOD forum and got lectured by a Frenchman who didn't like the way the post was structured. Weird over there sometimes.

aye sorry about that, he is a bit of gem .. I've had a wierd lecture off him about a year back (so its nothing personal to you)

Worth noting that the red bar reflects the number of elements still intact (even if damaged), so its not quite losses against absolute strength, but elements in use against the total number of elements that unit should have

+1
That's a really weird design decision by AGEOD!

I'm surprised one of the team lectured any player, if that's me, this is not intended by far (barrier language?). We are not of the haughty sort at Ageod, really.

True. It seems AGEOD is listening to your suggestion. At the beta section of AGEOD forum they have already changed it to blue both in unit counter and in stack counter.

I posted the quickfix for it at the AGEOD's forum.

You need to extract quickfix file and paste over original files for counter colors to match.

Just extract it to folder CW2\Graphics\Icons&Bullets\Units

It will replace the old unit cohesion counters.
Enjoy.

The funny part is that he doesn't even *own* the game.
