How to tell how much unit strength is in each hex - 7/22/2019 9:21:53 PM

Status: offline 		One thing I haven't been able to figure out is how can I easily see from the map view how much unit strength, or even how many units I have in a hex.

It seems like when I'm in map view, I only see the current top unit in every hex. When I click on it, I can cycle through the units or see how deep the stack is looking at the unit info dialog in the upper right hand corner but it's hard to get sort of a bird's eye view of where my front is over defended and under defended.

Is there an option to see stack depth or total combat power in each cell somehow from the map without having to click on each cell?

Thanks in advance for any help!

In the 'button box' in the lower right click on the unit tab and in that tab click on the button with the bowtie (directly above the question mark) to cycle through the different unit displays.
