Maximal

In the unit pop ups, you have two values describing command point needs and command points available to a force.

The term for amount of Command used is 'Maximal Command' and is a quaint translation error, sort of.

The 'Command Usage' term is also a quaint translation error, sort of.

'Maximal Command' is about 'Command Points Available'

'Command Usage' is about 'Command Points Needed'

We Americans are pretty simple :bonk: , we need more down to Earth terminology.

Its a minor thing; the last time I saw the word 'Maximal' was in Calculus class. It is not heard colloquially.

Yeah the "maximal command" always bugs me too. It's not correct use of the word in ENglish. But "maximum command" would be fine in my book.

available is ambiguous too. Are the CP available before or after the need of units? We can change to Maximum though.
