I am totally amazed with CM, a fantastic and enjoyable game. I do have on comment. Although i am still learning the ins and outs of the game, am i correct in stating that there is absolutely no way to locate an individual squad on the battlefield. I would really like to be able to call up a roster screen that shows the status of all units in a table, and also allows the ability to highlight a unit and go to it on the map. This is particularly true in large scenerios. I was being totally demolished by the germans in a recent large (75 turn) scenerio and really would have benefited by knowing if i had any artillery spotters available without having to highlight every unit. Would really appreciate any comments.

There is no roster in the game. You can use + and - keys to move to each unit on the screen, but this can be tedious. Do a search on "roster" if you would like to find out the reasons for and agaist having one. The roster issue has been thoroughly discussed.

Thanks Theron, i hope this will be considered as the game engine development continues.

No there is not. You can use the + - keys to cycle through the units. Also I find that taking away the trees (see hotkeys-shift T on Mac) and bumping units up in size (shft c) allows me to quickly find such units- I go to level 2-3 and fly the board. Also if the FO's are in the midst of a firemission, cycling through show movement/targets (shift p) also helps locate them as well.
