I was planning to start a PBEM 2 day turns soon - just checking first

I'm pretty sure I saw that as well, but thought I just imagined it due to distraction. Both my stuff and the AI, if I had the save file I'd upload it but I don't so... I'll keep an eye out for it again.

Aye it skips it, goes right from AM Phase to Aircraft Landing with nothing happening. Got a post in the tech support forum about it, Mic tracked it down, not sure if he got a fix for it yet though. Ai thinks there are 0 groups available for missions or something.

Yes...should be OK unless you are prone to blood clots or hemorrhoids. I would recommend you stock up on canned chili and dried soup and get yourself a bunch of roll-on deodorant*.




* Aerosol stuff works too if you can find it.




** Spelled "stock" wrong...and added an "o" to "to"

If you are surrounded by ice-covered trees (or tundra) and have moose meat stewing on the stove you won't need it.

Good, that is one expense I don't have to deal with.
