For most computer wargames I just test and run a turn to answer questions as they are getting too complex for the manuals to keep up.
Thanks for the info about the information pop-ups windows when placed over the VP, Money, conscripts, etc icons. I need to learn to put my mouse everywhere.
Your test is making the assumption that everything consumed/spent shows up in those pop-ups. I know that Depots cost 10 money and 5 conscripts. It is collected during the turn. (If you don't have 10 money, they don't get built). I built several depots over several turns. The money nor conscripts showed up for the depots in the Money pop-up or the Conscript Pop-up. I now know not everything gets put in that Pop-up. I am not saying creating Corps/Divisions consume resources, but your test does not prove one way or the other.
Yes, they are complex. It makes it very hard to make valid tests.
