I am showing this screen again but with different information.
The fly-out shows 3 different units in the hex, 2 armored units and a air unit, when I do not use the fly out I can still tell how many units are in a hex. Just above the fly-out you see a JU 87B with the number [3] over it, that indicates there are 3 units in tha hex, game wise there are several ways for the player to see what units that are there.
1-by right clicking on the Stuka a little post will come up saying next unit, click on that and the next unit in order will come to the top. If you are not playing with the division optional rule the maxium land units that can be in that hex are 2 plus air units. With the division rule you may put 2 corp and 1 division in a single hex. If the number 1 is over a unit then you know that is the only unit in that hex and nothing has to be done, If a 2 is over the unit then you know there are 2 units there.
2-You might want to use the fly-out like what is shown. Just double click a blank hex move the pointer over the hex you want to examine and the fly-out will appear.
3-at the top on the interface there is the word VIEW by clicking on that you can bring an oblong box down onto the map and hold the mouse pointer over any hex on the map and the box will have the unit information inside of it.
To the left of the JU87B you see a BF 109 fighter with a [3] over it, again 3 units in that hex. Farther left you see a infantry corp XL lll with white numbers 7-4 [7-attack and defence strength, 4- movement range] the white numbers indicate that it is an "Elite" unit with some advantages game wise over other units.
Down and a little to the left of the 2 Polish units the 3/4 calvary corp and the the 4/4 army corp are quite a few good German units. Just west of the Polish calvary a German infantry corp[xxx corp] sits in a wooded area [green] there are 2 units there but for now I am just going to go over the units that can be seen on this screen.
There is a German infantry corp a 7/4 in a wooded area just southeast of the 6/4 German corp. Further southeast sits another 6/4 German infantry corp in a clear hex with a river also in that hex. Again southeast is another 6/4 German infantry corp. all with units under them, they are backed up by 3 medium bomber units and a Ju 52 farther west that can resupply disorganized units after a battle.
You also might notice that the units I have just shown you are not motorized, motorized infantry have little wheels on the bottom of their counter. and if I remember right, watching on the history channel I saw a lot of German soldiers walking into battle in Poland, also horse drawn artillery. As the MWIF game progresses through the years Germany will get more motorized and finally add Mechanized units [armored half tracks.]
What I intend to do next is to show you German attacks through out Poland. I will be doing attacks not to win but to show you all kind of result possibilities from each attack. What I am going to show you is 1 unit attacking 1 unit, 2 units attacking 1 unit, 3 units attacking 1 unit, and maxiumum attacks against 1 unit. Then I will introduce German bombers helping out with ground support. Hope you enjoy.
Also please drop in on Orm's great AAR he is much more astute about this game than I am.

Sorry forgot this little tibbit. In addition to seeing what units are in a hex and resort them to bring another unit in the stack to the top of the stack. You would hold down the Alt key and left click on the unit stack, this will allow each unit in the stack to come to the top and you can leave it there if you wish to.
