Using the Team Monitor
You monitor the status of your teams using the Team monitor. To view all the
teams in the monitor, use the scroll bar.
To select a team, click its panel in the Team monitor. If you click an enemy unit
during game play, the list is replaced by the text “Enemy unit selected,” and the
enemy soldiers appear in the Soldier monitor. In either case, when you click one
of your teams in the Team monitor, or an enemy team in the View Area, the
Soldier monitor lists the soldiers on that team.
To center a team in the View Area, click its panel in the Team monitor after you
select it. To select the team and center it in the View Area, double-click the team’s
panel in the Team monitor.
When you select a team in the Team monitor, the team is highlighted by a blue
box, the Soldier monitor shows information for each soldier on the selected team,
and the team is selected in the View Area.
Using the Soldier Monitor
You use the Soldier monitor to monitor the status of individual soldiers. When
you start a game, the Soldier monitor is not displayed; it appears only when you
select a team in either the Team or View Area.
To select a soldier, click the appropriate panel in the Soldier monitor. When you
select a soldier, a yellow box surrounds the soldier’s name in both the Soldier and
View Area. If you select an enemy team, its members appear in the Soldier
monitor. However, question marks may appear in some portions of the panel if
you don’t have complete intelligence information. As an enemy team remains
under observation, these question marks are replaced with more complete infor-
mation about the enemy team.
Using the Message Monitor
You monitor the messages from your teams using the Message monitor. When
you start a game, there are no messages displayed; messages display only when
events affecting your teams occur. The Message monitor displays messages
radioed, or shouted, to you. To see all the messages sent during a given battle, use
the scroll bars. Double-clicking a message selects and centers the team that sent
the message in the View Area so you can readily issue a command.
You can also filter messages by using the colored buttons at the top of the Mes-
sage monitor. First you decide which levels of messages you don’t want to see,
then click the appropriate button. For example, if you click the red message filter,
