If you click on it you can:
For the Allieds: dropping an Abomb one time in a game
For the Axis: firing a salvo of V2 rockets every 3 rounds
Just kidding
If you click on it some more icons appear.
From right:
Switching between move and firing range
Casualties friends fow
3D view/top view
Next unit (not moved in this round)
Cycle through all units

So Magnum - which are you enjoying more on your iPad? Battle Academy or Combat Mission? Or both equally, but differently? Can you elaborate at all?

Battle Academy by far... hell I'm playing 4 MP missions at a time, about 20 turns a day, lol... I have a review submitted, waiting for publishing. As for Combat Mission Touch, it is a good game but with only 7 missions, both sides played means 14... and a broken MP, IMO, it' already worn-ed thin... I've played them all, and won't play MP till I can with my friends more easily... supposedly it's being patched, addressing most/some of my oncerns... so will wait for final judgment, and maybe a review, when patched. In general, too me, CMT is just more dumbed down then I thought it would be, while BA depth continues to blow me away. IMO

I LOVE BATTLE ACADEMY! I've only won once ever but it is exceptional fun! I cannot endorse it enough!!! It is seriously the most fun I've had on a computer game in a long time. Plus, apparently PC users can play iPad users and vice versa. I'm playing on iPad and it is astounding.

Btw Eugene there's a PC Battle Academy demo that you can try if you want to check it out in the meantime, one of the cool things about BA is that it is identical on iPad/PC/Mac other than a few graphics features like shadows and the PC comes with a scenario editor.
