Hi Saber,

Are you having a hard time with particular areas, such as the air-game, logistics, etc, or do you just feel that you are not achieving the sort of success you'd expect?

Well I guess you can say the air part of it .And when I try to get my guys to repair RR or ports I can't get them to move
to do anything .It always shows no MP .Also when I have 2 units side by side attacking do I get a flanking bonus?
but I am still reading the manual and trying things out on the game at the same time.but I have to say I am liking the game
more and more .and am going to get the hard copy of the manual.I do wish they had the flags of each country on the counters
it would be easy to tell the diffence between some of them

For port repairs, either mark the port as priority repair (just click on the word port in the city screen) or assign an engineer unit to the city via the assign command (also on the city screen). Don't have your RR units sitting on ports, hoping they repair them.
