Unit Information Pop-up WIndows
All the units displayed in the APP are scaled to size with respect to the underlying map. Each unit is assigned a specific Disposition establishing the nature of the unit's deployment with respect to the category of the unit (i.e. Infantry, Artillery or Calvary). Each Disposition has specific dimensional default characteristics resulting in the scale dimensions.
Unit Dispositions
- Infantry units can be displayed in any one of seven Dispositions (see colored coded arrows below):
- Line of Battle (pink) - Square ended slim rectangle (or connected rectangles in cases where line is refused), unit label at rear.
- Organized Retreat (green) - Semitransparent trapezoid to unit rear, unit label at rear.
- Charging Line of Battle (yellow) - Semitransparent trapezoid to unit front, unit label at rear.
- Chaotic Retreat (white) - Semitransparent oval, unit label at rear.
- Line of March (gray) - Line curved to comply with route, rounded ends, label to left flank, direction underscored by animation.
