Dossier Screen
The Dossier screen records your performance as a commander, either over the
course of a scenario, or a campaign.
On the left are tallied the outcomes of your
battles, during campaign play: Brilliant
Victories, Victories, Tactical Victories, and
Losses. In the center are the number of
enemy units destroyed or forced to surren-
der because of your leadership, organized
by unit class; and on the right are the num-
ber of casualties your own forces have
suffered under your command.
At the top of the screen are listed the awards, if any, you have been given
because of exceptional performance during campaign play, and a snapshot.
Below the snapshot of your general is a name. Click on the name to change it.
On the far lower right of the screen is the Exit button, which returns you to the
previous screen.

If an overstrength unit is damaged during a battle, replacements only restore
the unit to normal strength. However, after the battle, the unit can be made
overstrength again, and restored to its previous level. If the unit has not
reached its maximum, or achieves a new experience level, it may be made
even stronger.
For example, a unit with three bars of experience has been raised to twelve
strength. During the next battle they are reduced to nine strength, and take
replacements, raising the unit to ten strength. After the battle, from the Field
Headquarters screen, you click on Overstrength and the unit is raised to one
strength point each time you click, to a maximum of thirteen.
Improving units to overstrength status is a slow process, but provides a com-
bination of numbers and quality that can smash some enemy units with a
single attack.

Upgrade
Activates the Upgrade Unit screen and enables you to change the type
of unit within its class and add or change organic transport if available.
You can only upgrade units from the Field Headquarters screen between bat-
tles. Upgrading costs prestige points.
Reassign Unit
In campaign play, this command removes the unit from your forces,
reassigning it to another general’s command. This frees prestige points
for use on a different unit, or new equipment for existing units. This command
can only be used between battles.
Game
Brings up the Game Functions panel from which you can load, save,
quit, or start a new game. For more information, see the “Game
Functions Panel” section starting on page 26.
Exit
Exits the Field Headquarters screen, and returns you to the previous screen,
or begins a new battle, if you are between battles in campaign play.
