OK gold background on unit soldier heads means Elite, Grey means regular, Red means substandard, White backgrounds????? Veteran??? Shifts involved?

Not sure, will have to look at this. In general what is important is the unit background after you select them:

Gold=Elite with attack/defend bonus;
grey=standard;
red=substandard with attack penalty


Are there any ways to tell if rivers can be crossed and where? Is a major river the same in all games?

Look at the CRT/Terrain for the scenario. It will tell you which type of movement is allowed across a river, the OP cost, and whether combat is allowed or not. There are two sets of answers: one for good ground conditions and the second for bad ground conditions.

Are reinforcement arrival times ever altered.. meaning randomly game to game?

Not in KP.

Why the +3, +5 under units on reinfocement screen. why not the day, + am or Pm?? Does +3 mean the third turn or third turn after ????

It's the number of turns until the reinforcement arrives.

Ive had the game 3 weeks now and am in three different Pbem games. So will one of you high rankers help me in my quest.. thanks..Critter[&o]
