First off, let me say I'm a total newbie re: Ancient warfare games. I bought FOG yesterday and am currently reading the rules and playing both sides in various scenarios. So far I really like what I see. I know I've got a lot to learn about battlegroup strengths and weaknesses, proper tactics, movement, etc.

So far, there's two things I think might be helpful:

1. A "unit facing pointer" . Sometimes it's hard to see which way a unit is facing without zooming in. Any chance of putting some sort of facing indicator on the unit base?
2. I know shock troops have a gold outline in the lower left display, but I would like to see a map icon (similar to the bow for ranged units) for shock troops. It would make it easier to identify possible anarchy.

Ok, back to the books

I believe if you go to the options menu, there is an alternative unit base that looks like a "teardrop", pointy end indicating unit facing.

The tear drop base will help with your confusion about facing, i think you get to choose from 4 colours even

Ok,

Thanks guys, I'll check it out.
