Numbers?

Postby Lt. Air Force » Tue Apr 17, 2007 11:06 pm

Hey,
Anyone know what the set of 3 numbers mean when you hold your pointer over a grid square in the campain map?looks like this, i think
Example
P45
*something here*
Allies: 61,41,23  } What do these numbers mean?
Axis: 37, 46, 59  }What do these numbers mean?
Recon Level: Low.

I'm not sure if i described the right, but just go into CFS3, get in a campain, point your pointer over a grid that is part of the battle line, and look at the info that pops up.


Thanks
Air Force


PS I thought it ment the strength of the territory, but before a mission, the numbers were 37, 46, 59
and after they were like 62, 72,72. So i'm not sure.

I think it's armour, personnell and supply strength, but I can't be sure.....

I, too, been searching for the meaning of the three numbers for allies and three for the axis that appear when you mouse-over a sector in a campaign map.  Here is what I have learned and the tests and results which I performed in an attempt to unravel the mystery.

In the cmpstat file, two sets of three sector data numbers are represented by three initials "M, S, P."  I notice that some are followed by data labeled "Tire" (note, this one can be a negative value) and, of course, the only piece of data anyone seems to know anything about, the "ReconMissions" value.  Given the displayed pair of three numbers and the display of the ReconMissions on the campaign map, I believe I am safe in concluding that the sets of numbers in the cmpstat file are the same as those which are displayed on the map when you mouse-over the sector.

Thanks for the info, cregil. I keep thinking these numbers have to do with strength, like you, and/or how soon the terrirory is to being captured. I wrote down the values of a certain grid square, flew a mission there, then rechecked the numbers. Nothing changed. They've got to be of some importance. Might need to examin the manual some more....
