Game Lobby

Die **Game Lobby** ist der erste Bildschirm, auf dem du landest, wenn du dich auf game.heroesandgenerals.com oder über Steam einloggst.

Die Game Lobby besteht aus einer Reihe von Screens mit jeweils unterschiedlichen Funktionen. Manche Screens sind für das Bearbeiten der Nutzereinstellungen, andere für die direkte Interaktion mit dem Spiel zuständig.
Der Hauptbildschirm kann über die großen Buttons im Header Bereich erreicht werden. Untergeordnete Screens werden über den Hauptbildschirm betreten.

Das Lobby Sytem wird gegenwärtig ausschließlich mit Flash realisiert, soll aber über Zeit auch über Mobile Plattformen erreichbar sein.

Gegenwärtig existieren 3 Hauptbildschirme. Diese sind: Charakter Screen, Assault Teams und Kampagnen Screen.

## Kampagnen Screen

Der Kampagnen Screen gibt eine Übersicht über den gegenwärtigen Stand des Krieges. Hier können auch Kommandanten direkte Attacken auf feindliche Ziele initiieren. Komplexere Befehle müssen jedoch auf dem Command Screen (nur verfügbar für Spieler mit dem Rang des Kommandanten) ausgeführt werden.

It consists of 3 main parts:

* The War-Map. A large interactive map of the theatre of war.
* Mission List Sidebar (to the right)
* Map Item Details Sidebar (to the left)

Controls:

* Pan the map by click-dragging (outside of any units or battlefields).
* Zoom the map in and out using the mouse wheel.

## Character Screen

On this screen you can inspect and equip your soliders (actiongame characters). This screen links to several other screens like the equipment screen and achievement screen.

## Assault Team Screen

The Assault-Team screen is available to all players who are leaders of an assault team.
