Two questions:

1. Is there any way to easily see a Div/Corps/Army HQ's subordinate formations (other than the sad grey circles which tend to get lost in medium 2D view)? Like the coloring system (or similar) in the Decisive Campaigns series?

2. Is there any way to tell which of my units from a medium 2D map view have no more movement left?

For both questions please think scenario D21 which is great so far but trying to find some time management type tools here given the large number of units involved.

Thanks!!

The circles are the only way. You can modify them to make them happy circles if you want

I use the M key (there's an icon on the button panel too) to swap what the numbers on the counters mean. I set the secondary to movement points, that makes it easy to tell who's moved already.

I find the old "cursor" mod from TOAW3 indispensable:

Just put the graphics files directly into documents/.../Graphics Override
