As it is now, Auto Convoy is alive and well in War Plan Orange. However, as those of you who play WitP know, it seldom works 100% as it should. Some of the Betas (Terminus.... [:D]) are asking me to have Mike yank it out.

So, I'll ask you guys, do you want it left in, or would you rather be done with it?

GET RID OF IT !!!

otherwise you will spend 1/2 of your time reading post's about how it does not work....and how can you release a product when it does not work 100% etc.....etc.....etc......

If you don't know how to form your own supply convoy's you should not be playing this game

Hmm... a difficult choice. Is it *really* impossible to make that bloody convoy system work as it should? If it is, then you may as well get rid of it.

Judging by how long they've been struggling with it, it probably can't be made to work.

Truth be told I don't like it, and I know most people don't. But personally I would rather have something in that 10 people can ignore and not use, than remove it for the 2 people who want it. So, I'll have Mike keep it in.

I say leave it in. I never use it, but some people do. You can always just ignore it.

I say leave it in. It helps with those small backwater bases. Anyone using it for forward or key bases is dumb anyway.

I think I just voted and tilted a hung jury to the "leave it in" side. My apologies to Terminus and others. But, although I have yet to use it in the 3x3 PBEM game I'm in and probably never will, I do use the auto convoy system when playing against the AI for rear area bases and such. In that capacity I can't recall ever having had a problem with it.

Best of luck with WPO everyone! I can't wait to see it up and running and will be among the first in line to purchase a copy!

Do you want the auto convoy feature in War Plan Orange?

I would say leave it in. It works on my system. [;)]

However, this feature is one reason why I sometimes like UV more than WitP. The screens AutoSupply, Weathermap, ControlZone, and PickMap, I could live without. Also the features behind these full screen maps my not be worth the even the clumsy interface for them. The control zones could be implemented in the in-game preference screen, etc.. or on a pop-up screen like the one used to show you a task force.

So, there is a side of me, that would like to see AutoSupply ripped out along with the other screens I mentioned. I think the bottom line product would then retain the stuff that makes sense.

Because even though I can ignore a feature that I don't want to use, it makes me feel funny about the product if the feature is kind of dumb or half implemented in the first place.

Why are you apologizing? It's not like I'm going to come after you with a flamethrower or anything... The police took my flamethrower away from me.

You have my apologies for apologizing! [:)]

Well the question is, if it gets left out of WPO, it will never be fixed in WITP?

Auto-convoy is only useful when playing the allies, to keep the first leg of the supply train going.

It's been decided to keep the thing in WPO.
