Statistiscs suggestion

I think it would be a good idea if cities/oil fields etc kept by minors were included in the statistics screen as kept by their major.

Also, though I realize this would mean another screen so may not be doable in a patch, I'd personally find a screen with losses in numbers of units quite useful.

Great! I do know that not all the wishes can be fulfilled... But if not now, maybe in next Commander game :)

If I may add to this, I would suggest two related things.

First, I would find it useful to see a combat results summary at the beginning of the turn, possibly included (as a tab?) with the window that shows tech advances and economic performance. Because the screen pans out and centers on the action as it moves, sometimes I have a hard time seeing which of my units is damaged or destroyed by my opponent. Ideally the summary would show unit name/type/damage received/current strength (or "destroyed").

This would help me plan where to concentrate replacements or which new units to build to replace losses, rather than scrolling around the map and making notes before I start assigning points (maybe I'm compulsive, but I find if I start assigning willy-nilly that I sometimes run out of points before getting to some badly beat-up units). Also ideally, one could pull this screen up in the middle of the turn and possibly even assign replacement points from that screen. It would only be necessary to show results from the opponent's turn, not the attacking done by me previously.

Second, I don't think minor country forces are included in the OB statisitcs, and motorized/foot-mobile infantry are not disaggregated. Having both would be nice.

Thanks for your willingness to hear our suggestions.
