Noob question

[timurlain]

Hello to the forums,

I have read the manual, but I have missed one vital piece of information. What does the colored band (it can be green, yellow, etc. and can have some squares turned on and off) under the unit picture on the main board represent ?

Thank you kindly for helping me out.

Do you mean the lights at the base of the stack?

[timurlain]

Yes. Exactly.

I am trying to play the Shiloh scenario as CSA. Not too much luck so far. Is ok if the USA usually beets me in battles where we have roughly the same amount of man or I have slight advantage ? This is mostlikely due to my attack posture. On the other if I do not attack they just walk through and capture Memphis.

I'll get it soon though

Hi timurlain!

Each of this squares represent 3 units on the stack (beware: units, no elements. So both 3 leaders and 3 full divisions are one square )

The color have two modes:
- On the supply layer they represent supply level of the stack: red means awful, orange is bad, yellow so-so, green good.
- On all the other layers they represent, as i understand, a mix between health and cohesion. As above, colors go from red (bad) to green (good).

On structures (cities, forts...) you will also see squares to represent the garrison inside the structure (the same: one square=3 units).
And blue squares represent naval units on structures with ports.

Thanks for the answer.
