Each row is scaled to its own largest holding, so bar lengths compare the two garrisons within a round type and not across them. Counts are printed beside every bar.

Two step lines, one per force. They are drawn as steps rather than slopes because posture is a level a garrison holds until somebody changes it, not a value that drifts between settings. Read the risers: almost every one on a line has a matching riser on the other line a short time later.

The bars run outward from the center labels: UN to the left, MCRN to the right. Both wings use the same scale, so a bar of the same length on either side means the same number of people. What to look for is the asymmetry per row, since the two forces did not build the same garrison.

Two lines for the two forces, plus a filled band underneath for the contested hours. The band is the only fill on the chart on purpose: the per-force lines are context, and the overlap is the number the panel is actually about. It starts small and grows as both sides widen their patrols into the same space.

One row per platform, ranked best to worst, colored by which force runs it. The bar is readiness; the short track to its right is how many slugs are in the magazine. Degraded platforms keep their operator color but are drawn back, so they still read as that side's hardware without reading as a working gun.

Stacked bars over the trailing twelve cycles. Cleared traffic sits at the base and turned-away traffic caps each column, so the part of the bar that got sent back is always the top of it and can be scanned straight across without checking the legend. The total height is everything challenged that cycle.

Four round types, each drawn as its own small paired chart with its own scale. That is deliberate. PDC rounds are counted in the hundreds of thousands and everything else in the thousands, so one shared axis would leave three of the four rows as slivers against the wall. Bar lengths compare the two garrisons inside a row, never between rows, and the count is printed beside every bar.
