Slitherine

I know this has been posted previously but now that we are getting into campaign games with larger armies the DAG deployment is really becoming a pain. You have to spend so much time moving your troops about grouping them by type then deploy/move others out of the way.... I would like to make a suggestion to Slitherines devs. In the game Panzer General when you deployed there was a blank map with your deployable hexes highlighted. At the bottom of the screen (I think it was there but it has been a while since I last played it) there was a small window showing the current unit to be deployed. If you wanted you could go to a different page which had 1 or more windows with all your units shown as individual units. You could either deploy as they showed or go to the place unit as I just mentioned and click on a specific unit to deploy it next, then the game would offer to deploy the next unit in line etc till all your units were deployed.
If some kind of a similar system could be done with FOG it would make the DAG deployment a whole lot easier.
The units could be organized by lights then mounted then foot with artillery or fortifications last.
Just a thought but something better than the current massive tangle of stuff would be much appreciated by all players I am sure.

Yes, the deployment 'phase' is a right royal pain in the aris as it currently stands. I find myself being put off larger points battles for that very reason.

It is something on my "hit list" but not sure what the best solution is. When we come to it we'll see what the options are.

Even if the troops were just assigned in alphabetical order along the bottom line of the map it would be better than the current position.

The first thing I find myself doing is moving the AI generated placement to create space for my placement, then it's a chore to find all the pikemen etc. for the line, which usually forms the foundation for the overall placement. So, if these are already out of the way and nicely grouped together then it would save me time.

Personally I'd go for an option to permit AI to deploy the DAG army for those that want that but the default would be place all in order just above the deployment zones, maybe in order of type so LF, LH, MF, HF, etc but with then with say Ligurians together, then Gauls etc using MF as an example.
