When I played the game, it was often with a pad of paper nearby. You'd form up a convoy in San Francisco or Aden and two weeks of game turns later you couldn't remember why you had dispatched it and what it was carrying, or sometimes where it was. If nothing crosses their path they just plod silently on over the vast Pacific. I had to jot down notes to refer to when the convoys finally reached their destination, as to what I wanted done with the contents when it got there. Air groups for instance. In many cases I had earmarked them for flying west the rest of the way to Australia on their own once reaching New Caledonia.
