The Casualties tab

What this tab is for

The Casualties tab counts the models each side has lost. Its Vehicles view tracks damage on tanks and other machines.

Tap a heading below to open or close it. The page remembers which ones you left open.

When you'd use this tab

Use the Casualties tab when:

  • A model is taken off the table.
  • You want to know who has lost more.
  • A vehicle gets hit and takes damage.
  • The game ends, and you compare totals.

Why use the app for this

Doing it by hand works, but the app makes it easier:

  • No paper tally that gets lost or smudged.
  • Big totals for both sides sit side by side.
  • Losses you add on the Orders cards show up here too.
  • Vehicle damage has big, color-coded buttons.

How to use it, step by step

Try it: your squad Alpha loses 2 models, and a tank is hit.

  1. Open the Casualties tab. Make sure Units and Player are picked.
  2. Type Alpha in the name box and tap Add.
  3. Tap +1 next to Alpha two times. PLAYER CASUALTIES now shows 2.
  4. Tap Vehicles at the top. Type Tank and tap Add.
  5. The tank takes light damage. Tap + Superficial. The tank now shows 1 sup.
  6. Tap Opponent to track the other side the same way.

Where things are on the screen

Vehicles view

Why it matters in the game

  • Many games are won by the side that loses fewer models. A clear count settles it.
  • Damaged vehicles may move or shoot worse. Tracking damage helps you follow the rules.

What the words and numbers mean

Casualties
Models that have been taken out of the game.
Player / Opponent
Your side / the other side.
Superficial damage
Light damage on a vehicle. It shows as “sup”.
Full damage
Heavy damage on a vehicle.
Immobilized
The vehicle can't move.
Knocked out
The vehicle is out of the fight.

Good to know: undo and saving

  • −1 takes back a loss you added by mistake.
  • Undo −1 takes back the last vehicle damage. Clear wipes all damage on that vehicle.
  • Removing a name or a vehicle asks first.
  • All counts are saved on your phone.
