DESCRIBE APPEND UNIT Command

[odrium]

A DESCRIBE UNIT APPEND option that would add to the existing unit description.

Probably DESCRIBE APPEND UNIT, so that the parser doesn't need to try and figure out the difference between the command, and setting a description to the word "append".

[odrium]

Unless it'd be easier to just add a new APPEND command? But yeah, figured there was one way that was wiser than another.

I'm not sure I see the point of this. Under what circumstances would it be better to blindly append rather than just copying out the current description and post that using the current rules?

[odrium]

When I want to append a unit's description as "Veteran's of X battle" or the other. I can copy-paste an append order to multiple units with this. Currently I have to copy each individual unit's current description into their orders, then add the new portion to the end of it. Got real bulky last game.

[Mochnant]

I'm not sure what the maximum description length (this would surely risk finding it) is but I'm sure we could do what you're requesting (battle tracking) in a better way than that.

[Mochnant]

That battle tracking/unit history would probably be better as a separate request. This request is good as is for a more short term fix.
