Hello all,

Been lurking since the game came out, and would like to congratulate the entire dev and test team for this great game, I'm sure I'll play it for years to come.

Could the dev team kindly consider adding back and forward arrows to the Commander Report? This would help alleviate a lot of back and forth re-filtering for me. Even better if I can assign a specific CR view/filter to a shortcut key (eg. to quickly see just one Pz Grp).

Also, it would be very useful for the GC to allow all the CR data to be exported in Excel format.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the kind words.

Yes, this one is considered.

Not sure about back button. Could be very hard to maintain and implement.. not speaking about the free space for the extra GUI element. Every pixel on the CR is counted :)

Hi Helpless. I have been browsing the event logs in the .dat folder to see how I might use those in Excel (doesn't look very usable at present as it is not comma separated.

However, I do have a question about the Losses by Type section. Here is mine for turn 34 in my game vs. Carnage:

LOSSES BY TYPE
___________________________________________
Axis Combat_________274085
Axis Retreat________5034
Axis Attrition______108129
Axis Surrender______0
Axis Misc.__________0
Soviet Combat_______2455187
Soviet Retreat______449396
Soviet Attrition____266907
Soviet Surrender____163340
Soviet Misc.________4638

Now, that list shows losses that add up to a lot more than the T34 losses reported in the actual game GUI for the turn. On the other hand, they are a lot less than the cumulative losses reported to-date in the game. For example, my in-game total for Soviet surrenders is over .18m, but my total for turn 34 is about 2k. the figure in the T34 event log is 163,340.

Can you explain what the numbers represent and how they relate to what is reported in-game?

Cheers

Actually, opening up the event log from earlier turns shows that some of these figures are unchanged. Here are the Turn 21 figures:

Axis Combat_________163244
Axis Retreat________2265
Axis Attrition______63157
Axis Surrender______0
Axis Misc.__________0
Soviet Combat_______1741200
Soviet Retreat______442340
Soviet Attrition____176702
Soviet Surrender____163340
Soviet Misc.________4638

Soviet surrender is the same as in the T34 Log and the Axis surrender is zero in every Log I have opened...
