I hope this is new and I'm not just finally offering kudos for something that's been there for a while. Just started version 3 of the beta and saw this. Haven't even STARTED the scenario yet but I was so pleased and excited that I had to post this. Well done developers!

Yes it's even better than what was requested because you can add your own notes, too.

Yes, I am pleased and this will be helpful. I have two possible suggestions. Mentioned in my Tunisian Br. report, but I'll repeat here:

· Besides the html in the message menu, perhaps also look at the date stamp? I mentioned in Tunisian Bridgehead, I’ll repeat here: the timestamp was the actual local time/date down to the second (“7/20/2012 9:43:57 AM”). Perhaps just have the game date (“5/5/1943”), or game date and time stamp to nearest ½ hour in 24-hour format (“5/5/1943 13:30”)?
· Also I mentioned this in that report: A (very) small point. I’d rather that the message button be on the left side of the of button row. The F8/toggle reserve is the most frequently used button, so having it on the far right end makes it much quicker to scroll to and activate. Small point.
