Thanks for re-introducing me to the Force Summary button. Seems like I just got used to going to the buttons above it. It does give a good scorecard of the losses and snapshot of current strength.

But all these different buttons fail to give what I call a "snapshot big picture" of the game. In my mind this could be a cross-tab report: 5 Columns for the American CV's BB's CA's Transports AND Convoys. Another set of 5 for the Japanese. There would be 29 lines representing each base. Each box would tell me the number of what was where. A better version might be a button on the Strategic Map that shows those numbers at each base, e.g "6-2-12-1-1" on the Home Is.

What the existing buttons and reports fail to quickly report is the number and location of the Transports and Convoys (both yours and the enemies). Yes the Halos show a Transport, but is it one or two? [click, click scroll thru ship or TF lists to find out] For Convoys there's not even a Halo clue. Knowing the location and number of these units (especially the enemies) is the key determinate in deciding that month's moves and objectives. It should be a piece of information that jumps out at the start of a turn.

Maybe KE Studios can add this to their Player Wish List. After all it is the Holiday Season.
