ORIGINAL: Angiel 1) In addition to the paratroopers (British and Americans), the entire XXX Army Corps (infantry and armored personnel) participated in the Market Garden operation. 2) I want to know if it is possible to visualize on the map the original counters, not the silhouettes of the men that are camouflaged with the ground (this thing not only when passing over the units with the mouse, but always). thanks 1) You're right I forgot about the XXX Corps Lieutenant-General Sir Brian Gwynne Horrocks. I still remember the excellent performance of Edward Fox in the film A Bridge Too Far. 2) No. It is not easy. Another friend of this forum (Gerry4321) was also interested in this. The problem is that the mod is designed so that only the silhouettes of the units can be seen on the board. The effect of "camouflaged with the ground" is precisely what is intended. I am an ASL player, with cardboard counters and boards. That is logical in table games. The information to calculate in the battle charts, terrain modifiers, morale, and everything else is necessary to be seeable on the board. In a computer game this information is superfluous. The AI already does the dirty work. In addition, a Squad Leader in the middle of combat did not calculate the strength of a Squad, nor consulted tables. In addition, this game, not only calculates better than us each and every one of the actions, but also gives us the probability of achieving success, which is already truly overwhelming. Finally, ASL designers always talked about the "fog of war". The board players seemed omniscient and omnipresent. Believe me, the more "fog of war" the better.
