Turn indicator

Any way of telling what "turn (not who's turn---not turn order) it is while placing orders (while in the orders phase)?
I do not see anything indicating what turn it is while I am placing my orders for my units.
Yes, I see a turn indicator on every other screen, just not on the screen while in the orders phase (not counting the initial prompt for the turn).

1, it's there already it's the sides icon,

so it's one or the other of the top 2, so if you're one side and you're German let say and you take it in turn to start first each turn, then it will display on you're order phase also which side starts first, just need to look for it...
2, is a good idea
same as 3 and 4, no idea if there are doable either, but all comments are welcome

Does your game board look any different than mine?
Enter a game (either multi or otherwise), When you are placing your orders, where do you see a turn marker (anything indicating the current game turn)?
I do admit, I have a super small monitor...I must be blind.
I understand the indicator for the first player, but I see nothing that tells me the current game turn (the turn that I am placing orders for).
Turn initiative...but no turn indicator.
1) Placing a Turn indicator while in the orders phase.

yes the icon above is from elsewhere tbh, so no mines not any different from your's, but you are told at the start of the turn, who goes first in online play, can't show it as i'm not playing it atm, as no one is online to play with atm anyway
still no turn deploy turn to show you either

Sometimes I have to remind myself what turn it is.
Who goes first has nothing to do with it?

my picture doesn't show turns above this one either, it shows how many units i have to deploy, seems you haven't read the manual yet or done the tutorial?

As I said, there is no turn indicator (not talking about who's turn it is) indicating on what game turn we are placing orders for while in the Orders phase.

that will come, atm we are on turn one, when we get or if we get to turn 2, it will say turn 2
but at any time if you look at the top right corner, it displays a turn indicator which atm says 1 of 6, which means turn 1 of a 6 turn game

the minus 1 triangle was there because the shot was partially blocked so also had a -1 added to roll, but i used bonus ammo and gave it a +1 to roll

Incorrect; Not while you are placing orders.
I think It would be a good idea to place a 'turn' indicator while in the orders phase. I often times need a reminder (If I walk away from the game) of what turn it is.

against me really isn't fair, as i've got 200+ hours in or more and 30+ online wins, and game completed 3 times already, but can be beaten, same as anyone can, if the dice rolls in your favour enough times
to win, not only do you need to be lucky, but you also need to know the units, and bonuses and minus of the terrain, then make the best judgement call on placement and when to and when not to shoot, it's still a gamble, so there's no right and wrong way either, but over time some work better while others don't, it's that simple, learn by playing, and over time the odd's will be easier to understand, but there's always the day when the dice aren't on your side, then it's time to walk away as in real life and come back when your feeling luckier

add a suggestion to the developers, they will listen, then explain what they already have and are doing, them give you a answer
