Wooden Ships and Iron Men - helming and steering

GlowwormGuy · 07-08-05, 05:49 AM

Does anyone have the computer game Wooden Ships and Iron Men? How do you turn the ship? The helm does not seem to respond - it shows a negative symbol when I place it any position besides full ahead.

Thanks!

From what I can remember, you have limited amount of movement depending on ship type. If you have used all your movement allowance you will be unable to turn. Also you must have enough crew allocated to the rigging to turn greater than 45 degrees.
