On the Supply map, ares are the following colors:
Bright Green
Darker Green
Olive
Gold
Red
I could have left one out there are so many. Please, what does each color signify?

In RECON mode, some ares show up as a gold or yellow color. From a recon standpoint, what is this telling me?

I can't see any difference between the military map and thew strategic map. What should I be looking for?

What is the Political map all about? What is it telling me or what should I be looking for?

Thats all for now. Hope the manual has a section addressing this.

Have another??

Thought of another question.

During the reinforcement phase. There are always a few units that need to be placed, both German and Austrian. When I drag and drop them to an HQ I get the error message that says stacking limits are being violated. I get it for HQs showing 3 units and some showing 5 or 6. I even get it when trying to drag and drop in a fronts grand HQ. What are the stacking limits and do they apply to total units in a provence or total attached to the HQ itself?

Another one for the manual. :confused:

Both, actually. And the stacking limit is very severe for mountains, especially. 4 units IIRC.
I am just pulling the number out of my faded memories, but I think the wide-average max corps number for a HQ is 6 or 7. Germans have 8, I believe, and each main army has 12.

Tamas, how do you know all these things? Is it in the manual? So there are stacking limits for different terrain types. Makes perfect since. The kind of information that would be nice to know. ;)

Stacking is in the little manual and the pop-up tooltips. Read the tooltips carefully,they do have much info in them, and the red messages usually(not always) explain some things. :D
