Total War in Europe

[teddy]

I bought the 2 titles in the TWiE series and played through each starter and a couple of scenarios in each. The manual says that you can get the combat odds in the form of numbers (5/8 eg) or letters if FOW on (dis/adv).
However when I play The First Blitzkrieg starter, I get nothing. No numbers or letters. Just the sound of battle and the movement of chits - that's it.
I've gone through the settings of both titles and everything seems to match up.
Any ideas why this would happen?
