Status: offline 		Currently the XXXXII is displayed in the graphics on map and OOB as the XXXX Corps because of the limitations of the icon. I would suggest in following patch to rename it as XLII so that it can be at least displayed properly. Haven't checked, but guess more of these types of issues?

Status: offline 		This raises a question for me that I've been wondering about -- can someone explain to me what "IL" and "IIL" corps is meant to represent? I assume it's a peculiarity of German notation (the way using "XXXX" for "XL" is), but I just can't figure out what "number" "IL" corresponds to? I believe in Warwaw to Paris, in the Gelb scenario, doesn't Schmidt command "IXL Corps" -- again, no idea what that means. Would love if someone knowledgeable can fill me in.

I think it is meant to be 49. But that can't be, because I and V can only modify up to an X.

49 should be written XLIX - first resolve 40 as XL and then resolve 9 as IX!

The Germans use a slightly different form of the Roman numerials. For example XXXX for them is 40 whereas the western powers would use XL. IX is 9 so IL must be 49. Essentially, if the numerial to the left is smaller then the numerial on the right, subtract it.

I remember seeing a site on the interwebthingy explaining why the germans are different.
