Aviation range

Hi,

I may report what the range of aviation. For example: How many hexes have to find fighters for its support?

In the game "NCAW" there is a post which clarifies this for the cavalry and artillery, but in "CEAW" I find nothing similar to aviation.

Thanks.

If you go to the build screen and click on a unit type it will tell you the spotting, attack and movement range for that unit. One caveat though, these ranges are for a unit of that type that are at current tech level for that unit type.

Hi,

In CEaW Grand Startegy we have enhanced the GUI interface to be able for the player to have all of the information at their fingertips.

If go to our manual -- http://web.me.com/amcdonel/CEaW-GS/Welcome.html version h in section 5.7.2 (tooltips), page 27
we show a German FTR. We show the movement and attack range (new feature), and using the tooltip feature can see the land and sea spotting ranges for that specific unit at that tech level (new feature). The overall tech may be higher and the unit has not been upgraded.

The first image illustrates what Paul was referring to. We've added attack range to the unit description when you click on it. This is the attack range of that specific unit so if it hasn't been upgraded is will show the reduced attack range. The second picture shows the unit description from the vanilla game, which does not include attack range. The third picture shows how you can go the purchase screen and get the attack range for that unit type at the current max tech level for that unit type. If that particular unit hasn't been upgraded to that tech level then its actual attack range might be shorter.

If you move the mouse over the movement and attack range then the tooltip will show the land and sea spotting ranges as well. This is another addition we have coded. Can you show a screenshot of that as well?
