10. Announcement Dialog

A dialog pops up in the center of the screen with basic information about that scenario when it opens for the first time. It shows the commander’s name, side played, and a few links to Staff Reports to open and review continuously (see Section 15 below for details on those reports; they can be opened from the Commander Panel as well as the Staff menu bar item).

This dialog also states your overall game objective, an overview of your forces, and your ability to drag and drop units within your Deployment Area zone (see Section 11.7.5 below). We wish you good luck!
