Is there anyway to "close" the whole Information Panel so it does not block the screen when doing maxed out camera view? Cannot see the bottom portion of the map when doing so, as shown in the below SS. The Max view helps in determining if the enemy occupies, or about to occupy hexes, the contrasting colors of hexes makes this very distinct.

<EDIT> Also it would be nice to close Info Panel when doing MP SS, instead of modifying as is the case now (cut, shape, delete, whiteout, ect.)

Kirk,

Before I try doing so: Can the Entente deploy warships in the Persian Gulf?

Thanks, Bob

Thanks anyway: Found the answer to my above question----No Entente warships can deploy in the Persian Gulf----If an English sub will not deploy there, gathered nothing else will either, except for transports.

Don't know what I did wrong to have a different result than the success that Admiral Serak had in deploying a British cruiser to the Persian Gulf? It could be that British subs can not deploy there, if so, Why? By being able to deploy Entente fleets to the Persian Gulf adds dynamics to the game previously unheard of. He followed up by landing tanks, cavalry, fighters and armored cars to tie up considerable Turkish forces, besides capturing Kuwait, which gave him a port. It was a bit unnerving to say the least, plus it gave him bombardment capability ... Below is a SS of his early development of this invasion strategy:

The squares are red and my cruiser is now out of supply, so I can't disband it and it is stuck there. But it was fun.

There are 3 squares that are deploy squares just like there are south of Egypt. What we need is a way of sailing from the Persian Gulf around to Suez, as in reality this is a short trip. Maybe subs can't deploy as they do not have the range (and would be useless).

The stench of a new patch getting here anytime soon, is starting to be unpalatable and having been a strong proponent of the game has me feeling rather uncomfortable, especially where Steam sends out bogus updates that have made MP matches unplayable. Would somebody just speak the truth about what is going on? I used to like hearing from Kirk, at least he would get down to the details, but unfortunately he seems to be in the boat with the rest of us. Sorry state of affairs...

It is embarrassing how nobody feels responsible to communicate steps like that to the community.

The Central Powers consisted of the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the beginning of the war. The Ottoman Empire joined the Central Powers later in 1914. In 1915, the Kingdom of Bulgaria joined the alliance. The name "Central Powers" is derived from the location of these countries; all four (including the other groups that supported them except for Finland and Lithuania) were located between the Russian Empire in the east and France and the United Kingdom in the west. Finland, Azerbaijan, and Lithuania joined them in 1918 before the war ended and after the Russian Empire collapsed.

Never realized till now that Finland, Azerbaijan and Lithuania joined the CP (Central Powers)... Did you?[:)]

Admiral,

You know what would be a solution to the trapped cruiser fleet: If it (fleet) could return to the Persian Gulf deployment sea hexes to be in a position to be redeployed to the Red Sea via those specialty hexes. My gut feeling is we won't see anything like that maneuver anytime soon, if ever, after reading LZ's post.
