Awesome! That's a really great idea! And excellent execution too.

Now let's hear some stories about now accurate you can be with a trained eye for finding AoB without charts. I'll bet with experience it could be a great technique.

Bump! I can't believe there isn't more response to this. It's really a pretty big deal. In practice, real WWII sub captains used this method, eyeballing AoB more than any other.

It's tax time. And that tutorial reads too much like the instructions for Schedule C. Scary.

Practicing with it, appreciating it, thank you very much. It is quite helpful.

For the fellow-uninitiated (ignoramii) among us, I did have a problem. When loading the mission, it would jump straight to the "Mission Completed" screen. Click on "next" and you're done. Instead, click on "Return To Game" and then go practice...

I've had that happen in missions I've designed too. I'm sure it's brain damage on my part but I can't find what's causing the problem and it's too easy to hit the return to game button.

The "problem" is not having an objective, when you write a mission just give it an objective. Since you have no objective the mission is completed before it even starts. If you are writing for testing just give it a "Generic Objective", you will always have an incomplete when exiting, but it stops the "Mission complete" screen upon starting.
