Automated shipping?

Post by SMK-at-work »

In a discussion in another thread I've realised that it shuld not be possible for the British to "accidentally forget" to put shipping in the Nth Atlantic to feed themselves - it was not a matter of choice. similarly i've occasionaly forgotten to allocate German shipping to the Baltic, which can be really annoying.

I'd like to see the system changed so that shipping is allocated automatically up to the recommended limits, while allowing the player to reallocate if they really feel the need.

I hope I'm not the Lone Ranger in setting up for a historical drive into France and forgetting to declare war on BenLux. [:@] Granted i don't want the game to automat this part, but geez! I'm getting so old I need a check list.

That's a good idea. Something like the option for auto refit of ships that the game has now.

Me too, its about then that I had wished to use the save set-up option as well, so I could just restart with the set-up.

Its really embarrassing. Kind of like opening up the wrong mobilization, from picking the wrong sealed book . . .
Any relationship between what I say and reality is purely coincidental.
