What do the two different shades of the Infantry symbol mean? See attached pix. The Japs show a light red and a dark red symbol. [image]local://upfiles/8646/Rp429759198.jpg[/image]

the darker the symbol the more troops present

Dont quote me but i think it has something to do with their level of supply

freeboy -> RE: Infantry symbol has two different shades (8/9/2004 2:54:18 AM)
more troops equal darker...

quote: the darker the symbol the more troops present Well I thought it had to do something with the number of troops too. But I've seen the lighter colors with 2-4 units in it. So my question would then be more then what? quote: Dont quote me but i think it has something to do with their level of supply Hadn't thought about the supply side though.

not units then maybe assult values.. I remember lots of units are 5 to ten or 0, and probably make no defference.. in China a IJA force in the 1000 to 2000 assult range will be even when exasted from lack of supply and continually 7 marching attacking be very dark

It may be easiest to remember as lighter and heavier presences.

Also note these are estimated values with FOW, I've seen the game think a couple of base forces were in fact some heavy duty divisions and shown a rather dark square for them. So when a huge pile of troops rolled in to deal with them, and the square turned light after the first battle with only a small number of spotted troops, I found out the deployment was overkill ;) - Deathifier

That's good to know, but OTOH if the recon has been done properly you should at least know how many units are there, which either that or a higher level of intel. ought to adjust that color somewhat.

I believe its not an indication necessarily of unit numbers, but more of their assault strength.. The more assault points, the darker the icon... Whether its 1 division or 5 partial units doesn't matter - at least I don't beleive so. Xargun

Yes recon makes it more accurate I believe, which is why using it is a very good idea! - Deathifier
