Several forms reference the hex location by x,y numbers. How can I identify a hex's ID?

On the Main form, when the cursor is over a hex, the program displays the hex row (Y) and column (X) numbers. It will also show the name of the hex if the hex has a name (e.g., a city).

"Expand it even more"? That makes me nervous.

Do you have the Windows font size as small (100%)?

The Main form on your monitor should look like the one shown on page 163 of the Players Manual 1; [but without the bottom line about TO, AO, and LR, which is there by mistake, because I was testing the AI Opponent when I took the screenshot].

I had the detail map up to the bottom of the phase description, missing the last two lines. It would be fine if it were always on top and movable. I don't like giving up that much of my screen beside it.
