Battle Group Characteristics mod for Wacht am Rhein

This small mod displays the Commanders characteristics when you are on the battleGroup Screen

Battle Group Characteristics

On the lower left side of the Battle Group screen (just above the unit commander’s name) there are numbers in four categories associated with the quality of the unit. These apply to single player games only and indicate a measure of the opposing Battle Group’s leadership. The range is -5 - +5

Aggression – The more aggressive leader will make more aggressive battle plans.
Caution – The greater the level of caution, the greater level of reserves the commander will hold.
Charisma – A charismatic leader raises the morale of his troops.
Tactics – The higher the number, the more tactical plans the commander uses.

Play WaR with Locked Battle Groups
like classic CC4

This mod Locks the Battle Groups so you have to play the game with the teams the game provides for you, you do not get to select your team... quite a challenge!

Unzip the "Locked" folder to your WaR root folder and unzip the Locked Shortcut to your desktop. This will work if you installed WaR to the default folder... otherwise you will need to edit the properties of the link.
