Casualties Bin

[Orphan76]

How is this suppose to work? Have put units into the bins but unable to figure out how to get the counts to update.

Thanks,
Dan V

Click on The cvp button on the toolbar. It’s near the sniper finder and broken unit display buttons. It will show you a cvp count for each side in the chat window.

Or click on the Casualties button near the overlays button. That will display the bin and cvp totals.

 

[Orphan76]

they both show that the cvp is zero even though there are units in the bins?

The casualties bin definitely needs some work, especially for vehicles. The last scenario I played, the bin kept awarding the wrong CVP, even when I would adjust it for crew/no crew ahead of time.

Also, I wish it would update when units are removed from the bin. That's necessary sometimes in PBEM games, and the current solution is (1) remove the unit, (2) drag all of the other units out of the bin, (3) reset the CVP, and (4) drag the other units back into the bin.

Is there anything that I need to setup to get the Casualties Bin to work? I put units into it but the CVP does not change from 0?

When you remove units, do you then click on the side (allies or axis) button at the top of the casualties bin window? That should recalculate.

I will admit that the casualties bin was built without a thought for PBEM. So there may be a problem there.

What units? Only from vasl6.5.0 or later I hope and not from extensions?

looks like it is working now thanks. Playing Czerniakow Bridgehead so it is only Germans/Russian/Partisans.

How do you adjust the CVP for a vehicle if the crew survives?

How do you adjust the CVP for a vehicle if the crew survives?

If I remember correctly, there should be an option in the drop-down menu if you right-click on the vehicle counter before putting it in the casualties bin.

Right-click on the vehicle and there will be a menu option. Away from my desktop and can’t recall it exactly but I Think you will recognize it. There are a number options: ma malfunction; cs; ma malfunction + cs

I am not sure I follow your message but if you delete the units in the casualty bin and then hit the buttons at the top of the bin it will reset the calculation to zero.

You can delete the units by (1) rightclicking and selecting delete or (2) dragging them out of the bin (including back onto the map window).

Remember to click the buttons at the top of the bin to recalculate.

We did that but ....
This is status now
Nothing really work

It looks to me that you have deleted the boxes in the casualties bin that display the CVP count. They are usually right in the middle of the two windows. Try clicking on the CVP button next to the sniper finder on the toolbar. It is labelled "CVP". It should display the totals in the chat window. If it doesn't then I think you are in trouble for this game. When you start a new game you will see the display boxes back in the Casualties Bin. But I don't think there is a way to restore them during a game.

Yes I have noted that the counter is lost
We get numbers but can rest
If you able to delete that counter then we have done that with a select all del. LOL
If you can delete that counter and can't get it back I think I have to call that a major weakness
and no way we going to restart with x00 counter and markers on the map even with 18 dates left. Guess we need to do it old school.
If we only had bin able to cut/ copy and past from on game to another setup that had bin a major help to Campaign games
