The striking feature of The War College is the quality of the 3D terrain modelling. However, you can't scroll freely around the map, you can only used fixed zooms and rotations, which is rather frustrating. This makes unit identification tricky. Options on the display let you see unit facings, morale and names, and you can also toggle place names and victory flag displays. The view is certainly clear, given you know which units are which.
Arrows show waypoints for units moving, yellow lines show paths of units in retreat.
It's certainly pretty, but could be prettier still. You can pause the action at any time to review your situation and orders. Easy to see on a hex system - not so easy here. With the real-time system, it's good that you can set long paths for units to move along, and see these displayed clearly. At Pharsalus you have the option of marching column, attack or defence formations, while Austerlitz offers column, hollow square, ordre mince or ordre mixte.
