Counters covering other info

[Heldenkaiser]

A persistent interface problem for me is unit counters covering other information. Sometimes I can't see the path plotted for a unit because so many other counters are in the same region. I know where it starts, of course, and where it ends, but not the intermediate steps, at least not for sure. This is relevant when I am not sure if a unit is taking a direct path to an adjacent province, or will be moving via a third province for some reason that may be enemy-occupied.

This was NCP, but it equally happens in BoA. I recall a game where I never could tell the progress of the siege of Oswego because my own besieging army counter persistently covered the siege icon. No shifting around would help.

Any solution?

It is an issue sometimes in AACW as well. I check paths by using the delete key to step backwards through the path. I have one PBEM opponent who consistently seems to place his units over relevent information, like seige and blockade icons. Maybe it is just the game, probably not deliberate.

Would there be a chance to have a button or key that makes the unit counters (and only them) temporarily transparent, or entirely disappear? I know of other computer games that have this ability. It helps me to check terrain in TOAW, for instance.
