I'm sure that you can't get out of the Baltic until you capture Denmark and open the Skagerrak (sp?) Strait.

IMO, Matrix has handled this problem appropriately and with significant sensitivity. David and Erik have been forthcoming and humble. I am very satisfied, and patiently wait for the fix. Thanks to all.

I just got the game and am trying to learn it. I have 25 yrs of wargaming history, so I should be able to figure it out. Eventually. I think ... [:)]

<t> I would like to hear the community's feedback on this issue:<br/>

In the interests of making the game more 'playable', certain design decisions have been made (discussed elsewhere). The net effect of these decisions is to make the CSA more 'fun' by giving it a better chance of winning ...

enthusiastic applause for this feature

<t> As a 30-yr veteran of wargames, I just want to offer my hearty applause for the "out of command" and "misinterpreted command" features of the detailed battle game. This is such an obvious reality of command IRL, but it's amazing how many games fail to allow for it. It was especially a prtoblem ...
