Questions from a new Captain?

If you're just plotting from a radio report, the center of the convoy should be at roughly the center of the box representing it. The "tail" on the box represents the wake of the ships; it's the opposite of the course the convoy is on. Draw a line down that course, which should be the way the convoy is going. Since you should know the speed, you can estimate where they'll be in 1 hour, or 10 hours, or whatever time you want. Try to arrive in front of them before they get there, and wait.
