Adding each vehicle and ordnance for each player is just a matter of selecting them from a list, and the generated HTML snippet will produce a table of information for each one (see right). Very handy if you have a menagerie of armor and you're, say, looking for something that can fire Smoke.
<p> The scenario date is taken into account when generating these tables e.g. APCR for the Pz IVH is A5<sup>2</sup>, but since the program knows the scenario is set in 1944, it just shows A5. Had the scenario been set in 1941, it wouldn't be shown at all.
<p> Double-click on an entry to make changes to it e.g. because an SSR changes its capabilities, or you'd like to add a note.
Finally, if special support weapons such as PF and BAZ are in play, snippets are available with information for them, and as with vehicles/ordnance, they are date-aware and update themselves accordingly.
<p> Extra templates are also available to generate ad-hoc snippets e.g. to keep track of how many PF shots you have left, or to generate a shaded box that can be inserted behind the Turn Track to indicate an LV Hindrance.
