True Bearing of Ship from North? Magic?

Washington · 02-21-08, 10:06 PM

Hello everyone,

I have been reading this website for several years, but never really posted. I was hoping you guys could help me out with how my crew calculates the true course of the enemy ship relative to North. Me, the captain, gives them two pieces of info, bearing and range. I do this 2 times to get a course. Then, I hit the speed button and my crew gives me the estimated speed and the true course of the enemy ship (from North). How do they do that and how do I double-check their calculations? Thanks.

Also, when the manual says compare the calculated course with the actual course and compare the PK with the actual ship, what does this mean and how do you guys go about doing that?
