Recruits, you'll see a Compass to the top left of the map. The current standing order and environmental situation is also displayed there.
Placing yourself as the centrepoint, direction 1 is up and 3 is down. You can navigate using this compass. 33 is 2SE of you, but reading 33 33 is a fair bit easier than reading 4SE when processing bulk troop movements.
The environment factors heavily into this situation. The WIND AND WEATHER is indicated by the x/-y. Right now, the situation is such that every 3 tiles invokes a further -1 to ranged attacks or thrown things. It's low wind and good visibility. It may sometimes be worse, it may be sometimes be better.
It is the Third Descending Glory, one of the long hours before the sun dips out of the sky. When fighting intensely in hand to hand, troops tire faster during the height of day and they see poorly during the depth of night. Other kinds of weather have other effects. For now, your careful manevuring, resting, good march order, excellent timetable management skills and plentiful rest and refit have ensured that everyone is at good capacity with fine stamina and supplies. This may not last.
