Speed buttons

Concise description:
  • Addition of buttons for quick reinforcement to save having to use the drop down all the time for any reinforcement, which are often quite small numbers

Specifics:
  • During the reinforcement phase, you select a territory to reinforce from and where to send it, and the list always default to the maximum number of armies that can be shifted. This regularly isn't the amount I want to send.
  • Suggestion is to add buttons for "1 army" to "5 armies" as well as the drop down option
  • Actual specifics to be determined by popular vote or by analysis of the database on the size of reinforcements most often used. At the start of the game u have 3 armies per territory plus will probably deploy another 3 on top and attack. Best win outcome is you take the target with no loss and have 4 armies left "spare". Thus people will regularly will want to be moving up to 4 armies initially at the end of the first round.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • Just count how many times you have to click on the drop down on a turn during reinforcement for each game to select a different number from the default. It can be dozens on the larger maps!
  • Helps reduce the risk of RSI for all players :)
