Exporting Messages, Picking Move Order - 7/9/2011 4:05:59 PM

A couple of questions:

1) Is there any way to export the messages? The display panel is hard to read. I like that is shows all the messages from the beginning of the game (DOW, control, combat, etc). I'd like to copy or export those messages to word, notepad, or another text editor.

2) The game manual indicates that France and GB select move order in the diplomacy phase. What do you click on to do that? I don't see an option. The AI seems to be able to select, but I don't see a button.

I am not sure how to export messages. The place to click and set your spot in the movement order is on the second page of phase options on the menu that appears in the bottom-left. I had always thought it was in the reinf phase though. Remember, when in doubt, move last.

1) By right clicking on the Status Box, you can perform several actions: Copy to clipboard (for saving or editing the text of the Status Box), Replay headlines, Clear selected headlines, or Clear all headlines. (3.1.5)

2) Great Britain may choose to change the order that they wish to move during the next naval phase and France may choose to change the order that they wish to move during the next land phase. You can scroll over the Naval or Land phase identifier at the top of the screen and you will see the move order for the current turn. Click the �Change Order� button and using the spin buttons, scroll to the desired position. (7.5)

Note that there is an updated User Manual in the \Data\docs folder. The references above are from the sections in the updated manual. Once v1.08.06 gets released, there will be a few more updates included.
