Access campaign details, Commander stats, and equip wargear via the Commander Screen in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War.

Clicking the Commander button in the lower right-hand corner of the screen (your Heads-Up Display, or HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap)) brings up a screen showing details about your campaign in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. It lists the enemies you've defeated, the units currently in your Honour Guard as well as those available for training, the Special Province Bonuses you currently have, as well as your kills, Conquests and Defences. Also listed are the health and damage stats of your Commander.

If you click on the Wargear button, you are taken to the Wargear screen. This screen shows all of the wargear your Commander can obtain, the pieces they already have, and their current stats. If you have any available selections, you may double-click on a piece of wargear to obtain it. If you change your mind, simply double-click again to de-select it. The wargear isn't added until you hit Continue. Once a piece of wargear is added, it can't be removed or changed, so choose wisely, even though you'll end up with all of them.

Tips
  • Pay close attention to your Commander's health and damage stats to understand their combat effectiveness.
  • Review your available units and Special Province Bonuses to optimize your campaign strategy.
  • Carefully consider your wargear choices, as they cannot be changed after being finalized.
