New addict has a question...

Hard to believe this game is free! Anyway, is there a way of knowing the terrain defense percentage of the actual hex one of your units is standing on. Yes, I can see the percentage for any hex I might want to *move to* by simply floating the cursor over it, but not for the one I'm on. The manual states: 'To see a unit's defense rating ... mouse over the terrain ... and the defense rating will be displayed as a percentage value in the status pane, as well as shown in the fight window'. Where is this 'status pane'? I can't see any value for this in the panel on the right that has the stats for my unit. I'm sure I must be missing something simple... Thanks a lot.

Should be in the upper right corner.

Maybe this is what you're looking for?

Great, thanks a lot to you both for the quick reply.
And I just thought I'd ask... Does there exist somewhere a *complete* manual (the one you get when you click on 'manual' is good for starters, but it would be nice to be able to print out the entire 'help' file). I know that w/b a lot, and the game *is* free, but as I said, I just thought I'd ask... Really enjoying this game! Thanks again.

currently, there is not one source that is the definitive reference. The manual is a good start, there are often very useful tips and explanations accessible from the in-game help (it doesn't just link to the manual). Also, there is a fair amount of good info on the forums (mp, or strategies and tips), or on the wiki.

OK, thanks again.
