As Ballacraine mentioned, the correct name for the special truck units is the Royal Army Service Corps (RASC), they are mentioned in the briefing and the pzloc file:

IDS_SCEN_ALLIED_CAM_OBJECTIVES
"Capture and hold 5 objectives and escort 3 units from Service Corps to marked area A."
Capture and hold 5 objectives and escort 3 units from the Royal Army Service Corps to the area marked A.

Thank you for the support, my friend.

Also the transport unit probably should be renamed to 'RASC Truck.'

Actually, that triggers a little anecdotal memory.
Many years ago, my late Father & I were watching an interview with Spike Milligan, who was discussing his war memoirs.
At one point he referred to the RASC, my Father's unit.
When asked what it stood for, quick as a flash, Spike; a Royal Artillery man; said:

'Run Away, Someone's Coming.'

I looked nervously at my Father, only to see him recover from the shock & roar with laughter.

Balla, that is very funny indeed!

Usually less words are better for clarification and understanding.
Not all the "to"s and "the"s are needed. Just keep that in mind.

[ThvN]

Well, I was doubting a bit about some things, like "HQ is sending you rare unit", but an extra "a" is simply grammatically correct. Without that "a", I still understand perfectly what it means, but it looks a bit like a google translation. And if it's a small and easy correction to make, why not? Uran21 can decide if he wants to use it or not, I just point out things I come across.

Remember, it's part of the UI, and can make a difference in perceived quality of the product by the end-user. And I am one of those overly formal people who can be very fussy about such things, as written language is very important in my line of business.

But strangely I care much less about vulture... I mean eagle heads, that's more your territory.

strike - not stricke.- Tutorial 1940 screen.

Just noticed this one too...

[uran21]

Not sure what is the status with the briefings now, either they are locked or should be any moment now but I do plan to incorporate text changes regarding victory conditions, in game messages and scenario descriptions. ThvN thanks for taking the initiative, text errors you posted previously ( for last couple of scenarios) were not incorporated because scenarios were temporarily locked for a reason before Beta 3 started so I couldn't make any changes in them at all. This would be the most convenient place for posting errors so all text errors are in one place.

[ThvN]

Thanks for letting us know, I wasn't sure what the best course of action was.

BTW, I noticed the 57mm AT gun changed icons, very sneaky! Now only the 37mm remains... And I must say, I really like the evacuation hexes to rotate troops. It makes for a good representation of numerical superiority.

Normandy is the map.

In the briefing, East and West should have their first letter capitalized.

In fact please double check all the briefings as East West North and South need to start with a capital letter.

[uran21]

Text errors were corrected while not all suggestions included. For example I prefer old names for Crete towns or Italian for Cassino. Files went to proofreading as well prior to translation.

Service Corps name for artillery transports were not changed because full name is too long and alternative just abbreviation. But more serious than that functionality of script depends on used name. Sorry.

[Ballacraine]

There is nothing wrong with using the abbreviation.
Lots of other units have them.

On the other hand the name used is incorrect.

Balla.

[Razz1]

I'm all for abbreviations, but translation can be a problem.
Also abbreviation are not good if it isn't common knowledge.

If you gave me a unit with the name "RASC No.4", I would have no clue what it is. In fact some people may think it is a special unit.

I would hope things like AT, ART, Bn, Bgd or Bg are common between languages so all know that AT = Anti Tank unit, ART = Artillery, Bn = Battalion, Bg = Brigade.

By th way are you going to fix the right menu so that scripted letters show correctly?

lower script gets cut off. Example g get cut off so it looks like an o when you look at the name of a unit. All we have to do is expand the height on the menu block.

[Ballacraine]

I wouldn't have thought 'RASC Truck' would be a major problem.
