Default Help with maps

Please tell me where to find or identify objective names on the maps. During the battles, message will appear that say the Allies or Axis have captured "the schoolhouse" or another such building or objective name. When I refer to the map, if I can without getting shot, I do not see the names of the buildings/objectives in those terms, so I am not 100% sure which building or objective may have traded hands. During the skirmishes, the SL's or TL sometime identify where to go by using the map grids, which is very helpful. Is there someplace to look that would show the names of these places? Thanks.

I don't know where you can find the names of the buildings, I think you will have to gain some experience through playing in the maps. But you can use your "tactical view" (press T to bring it up) to see the objectives.

I dont think you can see them , no idea why but just play the maps and learn them that way, and tactical view helps alot.

Yes, use your tactical view alot, its the most helpful tool to navigate over the battlefield. You can also use it to see which objective is under attack and then you know when the message plops up which one is which.

I'm sure that these messages also say something like (A) (B) (C), then just use the tactical view and look for these capzones.

If you open your map, there is also a list of the objectives and their names on the right.

If you open your map look at the caps marked with A,B,C etc. then look right and there are the objectives numbered with names!

Bring up the map, and zoom in with the mouse scroll wheel. The names pop up.
