The Explosion Markers window lists details of each fired serial.  Those details are the Asset call sign, Target Grid, start time, Ammunition, Fuse, Distribution, and the number of explosions of the rounds which were fired.

The users can view the Explosion Markers in VBS2, by selecting the Markers checkbox for a particular serial. Image 17i illustrates how the explosion markers are shown in VBS2.

The button "Show All Markers" will show all the markers in VBS2 when clicked whereas the button "Hide All Markers" will hide all the markers in VBS2.
