No explanation of icons

Post by Poliorcetes »

Just got the game and I skimmed the manual. But already a few minutes into the first scenario I am needing lots of clarification.

Such as seeing colored icons with no explanations.
Blue lines - ? LOS to enemy units
Green "neutral" icons - don't seem to do anything, not sure what they represent
Yellow explosion with yellow cirle around it - ? enemy artillary or something. My tank reports getting attacked in that area.

Are on map mortar engagement ranges preset or do I need to set them up?

Is there a time limit? I have some scouts, but scouting moves really slow. But I don't see a timer, do I have all day to wander around scouting?

Blue lines - ? LOS to enemy units

The manual section 4.26. NATO Icons: "A blue line is rendered between a friendly unit and its current target. The line flashes when the unit fires. Friendly aircraft show the line only when firing."

Green "neutral" icons - don't seem to do anything, not sure what they represent

5.1.21. Neutral Units

Yellow explosion with yellow cirle around it - ? enemy artillary or something. My tank reports getting attacked in that area.

5.1.29. Muzzle Flash Detection

Are on map mortar engagement ranges preset or do I need to set them up?

On-map mortars and artillery must be controlled manually.

Is there a time limit? I have some scouts, but scouting moves really slow. But I don't see a timer, do I have all day to wander around scouting?
