Wargame Title

[ShendMikullovci]

Creating a wargame gives the latter a title containing a random number of letters. Do the letters indicate anything?

If not, I suggest we show enumerated wargame titles such as:

-Wargame 3 -Wargame 2 -Wargame 1

With the newest one at the top of the list.

Wargames a given a random set of letters for a name - to ensure they are unique. This name is used for the filename.

When the wargame is first opened, the name is editable - so Game Designers create a suitable name for it:

• "Atlantic Wargame"
• "Pacific Wargame"
• etc

Understood. Can it be enumerated titles instead? They would still be unique in terms of file properties.

It's a challenge to check the number counters. An alternative implementation (that avoids showing the random name) would be for Create to popup a dialog asking for a name for the wargame. This would be shown in the "Edit wargame" page.

Would that be acceptable?

[ShendMikullovci]

Perfect.

I also noticed that this same sequence of random letters appears for new force titles. Can we apply that same solution?

Yes, we could do. But, it's a fairly low priority. These pages are only accessed by the Game Designer, who should be familiar with Serge.
