Close Combat: The Bloody First – Unit Information Display

Known information about the unit currently under the cursor (or the currently selected unit, if no unit is under the cursor) is shown on the right side of the Tool Bar. This shows the type or name of the unit, what it is doing, the health of its men, and how effective the unit’s weapons are against infantry and tanks at various ranges. The information showed for an enemy unit depends on how long and how closely that unit is observed by a friendly unit (and by the game settings).

The Unit’s weapon effectiveness is shown on the Tool Bar beneath Unit Status Indicator and represents ranges of 20, 40, 80,160, 320, and 640 meters respectively. The top row shows effectiveness against infantry, and the lower row, represents effectiveness against armored vehicles. A green rating indicates the unit’s weapons can defeat any enemy target of that type. A yellow rating indicates the weapon will be effective in an ‘average’ situation, such as troops in light cover, or the armor of an enemy medium (though not heavy) tank. A red rating means the weapon has limited effectiveness, and can only destroy more vulnerable targets such as exposed troops or light armored vehicles. An individual soldier’s status indication in the unit:

Green – Healthy

Yellow – Wounded

Orange – Seriously wounded and out of action.

Black – Panicked

White – Surrendered

Red – Dead

For enemy units, the soldier heads only indicate as follows:

Green – Healthy

Orange/Red – Incapacitated/dead

White – Surrendered

Black – Fled the battlefield
