One idea that has been floating around is to create a "Casualties Bin" where KIA/dead units could be placed and then viewed. This would have particular application to CGs which almost always require a CVP count. It could also be useful in scenarios where CVPs are part of the victory conditions.
I have been playing around with this and would welcome some early feedback as to whether or not this is going in the right direction, and how it could be made more useful.
So far I have developed the following:
(1) Units would be placed in the Casualties Bin through a popup menu item. The example below is for an infantry unit but it could be applied to vehicles, guns, any counter that counts toward CVP.
This seems fairly simple to me and works with either two mouse clicks or a key combination. It would not actually be the top item in the menu.
To display all "Casualties", players would click on a button (the "Cas Bin" button in the image below). The Cas Bin window would display casualties ordered by side and then by type.
What the Cas Bin window can't do right now is actually calculate the CVP value of the units displayed. While that would clearly be a great addition, is the Cas Bin without CVP calculations still worth it?
Is this the right sort order? What might be more useful? Is the unit's location when it met its demise useful or just clutter?
Thoughts, reactions and suggestions for doing it better would be most welcome.
