Two questions

[Vease101]

I notice that occasionally an exclamation mark appears next to a unit, what does this mean?

Also, can anyone explain to me why there is a British Artillery Doctrine modifier in the game, does British Artillery find its way to the Soviets at some point?

this marks artillery units that supported others during combat.

!SPOILER!

If you chose to head for Arkangeslk in the Grand Campaign you will face British troops that help the Soviets definding that line of supply.

!END OF SPOILER!

In addition to that, it was provided for future possibilities as we already were including the others.

Thanks for the replies Ronald, I haven't played the campaign game yet but now I am intrigued!

Question: I'm playing the campaign and in two battles I was winning but had intentionally not captured the last objective so I could repair some of my units. Since I still had a few turns left before 'Brilliant Victory' I wanted to gain the resource points and use them for repair. Anyway, the battle suddenly ended and I received a 'Normal' victory result. Is this a bug or...?

Second question: Do I receive bonus resources for ending the battle ahead of schedule?

Thanks!

First question: the way you describe it, it could be a bug. Could you state the maps and/or deliver a savegame so we can investigate ?

Second: the grand campaign does not do this, the smaller ones do.

i.e typical artillary Def - 7/2 whats the first/second number mean?
i.e typical armor def - 11 ( shows 8+3 when hover over text). also why is it in green text?

The colours light green and red indicate a bonus or penalty that alters the basic value which is displayed in white.

The amount of the change is what is shown in the tooltip in your example it would be a green 11 and +3 on top of the standard value.

This way you can see where your upgrades influence your units.

thx Ron...whats the two numbers shown for artillary type units x/x?

Maybe soft/hard attack strenghts?

Hello tombo,

without a screenshot or more details i have to make a guess. If the numbers are written like this 7|2 and appear in the panel expansion then this shows normal and embarked values and applies to all units that can embark on transports.
