Strategic Combat Window
|
This window displays a combat while it is in progress. This is called "strategic" combat because you do not have any direct control over what is going on. You would choose to use this type of combat when you don't want to sit through the details, but would rather see a summary of the results quickly. See Combat for more details. |

| System | The system this combat is taking place in. | |
| Coordinates | The specific location within the system that the combat is taking place. | |
| Combat Turn | The number of the combat turn that the combat is currently on. This will progress from 1 till the maximum number of combat turns, or until combat is complete. | |
| Combat Forces | This list contains all of the players and the vehicles that are taking place in combat. Each player has its flag listed, and then under their section, all of the vehicle sizes that are present. Each item lists how many the player currently has and how many they have lost. As combat proceeds, you will see numbers move from the Current to the Lost column. | |
| Combat Map | This section displays a map of the combat area. Different vehicles will be shown as squares in the color of their owner. Vehicles or planets that are not owned are shown in dark gray. The map will be updated as each combat turn goes by. |
| Begin | When you first see the Strategic Combat window, combat has not begun yet. You must press the Begin button to start the combat. Once combat has begun, it will not stop until one player is destroyed, or the maximum number of combat turns is reached. | |
