Playing a PBEM game and we are trying to figure out how players other then FRANCE and ENGLAND figure out when they (FR and GB) are moving in the respective NAVAL or LAND Phase.

Currently we are having the FR and GB players declare when they move, but need a GAME SOURCE

I could not find anything as yet....mind you, I have been looking for too long now....

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated..

"France is moving xxx in the land phase"
"Britian is moving yyy in the naval phase"

In other word, I'm Prussia at war with France. I have some grand plan to destroy France (as Frederick the Not-so-Great frequently did), but it depends on France moving in the land phase after me and the placement of a blocking corps during my reinforcement phase. How do I find out (after Diplomacy, but before movement) at what point in the phase France is going to move?

Jimmer,

To view the turn order for the phase, hold the cursor over the current phase text located on the top menu bar. The major power located between the angle brackets (e.g. <France>) is the phasing major power.

Edit: To answer your question completely: Britain and France changes in the naval and land phase order should be written to the status info window for viewing at the start of the reinforcement phase but now I noticed that it is missing. The program should announce the change and divulge the exact order at that time. On the fix list -thanks

Richard

In the PBEM version it seems quite erratic exactly what info each player ends up having access to. Mostly I just get the one line entry that x country has loaded and had its turn. For example, diplomatic phase, I attempt to influence, ask for allies etc and the only way I can guess the result later is to check each minor or check my country status page to see if I'm now allied to anyone BUT the player that finished the diplomatic phase did have all the results of the rolls etc in his log.

I mention this here because when I played solo, I would get a message in the logs that GB or FR have chosen to move last/first etc - so it feels like the same problem

Status: offline 		Thank you to Monadan for providing the response I was looking for.  Sorry to hear about one fix, one break...but as Jimmer pointed out (Thanks Buddy!) it can become very important....

gwheelock/Alex777; you should notice I mentioned that we are playing in a PBEM game and I _believe_ your responses are from a single-player game.... but appreciate the help.

I appreciate the responses from everyone else......
