Understanding battle strategies...newbie question

[tbontob]

I say go ahead and send MM your message. It never hurts to ask.

Hey...the first positive response

[tbontob]

About the scenario I presented...

What I suspect is happening is this...the computer for some reasons decides that the fleet movement orders are impossible to carry out and reverts to the light cruisers movement orders.

Is the above true?

And why?

Is the reason, "I have a weapon, so I should attack?"

The battle tatics is an area that is the least understood area of the game.... I think most players have about 5 tatics that they understand and stick with it.

Hmmmmmmmmm

Wouldn't it be nice to know the workings of the strategies menu so as to allow a more flexible response?

[tesco samoa]

It would indeed...

Just discovered the "New Poll" button!

So, I have decided to take a poll on who is interested/disinterested in having MM give us information on the Strategies Menu.

What we do next will depend upon the results.

Hi guys:

Have a question about the placement of the poll...

As a newbie, for the first 2 weeks or so, I more or less limited myself to what was showing on my screen. There was so much stuff to digest that I just did not wander much...

The position of the poll is fast approaching the place where newbies (if they are like me) will not find it.

Now, we can put inane Messages in it to put it up to the top of the list where new arrivals are more likely to find it.

A better way would be to have it positioned at the top among some of the other Messages there.

So how do I go about doing it? Is there someone, I need to contact? If so, who? And how?

You need to bump the thread periodically. It _could_ be made sticky (stuck at the top) by a moderator, but that isn't a very good idea. The number of sticky threads needs to be kept at a minimum.
