Boat won't move

Hello and welcome.

I assume you are playing the stock game?

Two possibilities come to mind.
First, while there's no mutiny in SH-IV, there is exhaustion. If you forget to take your crew off of battle-stations they will eventually cease to function. If that's the case, just end battle stations and hope the IJN doesn't find you before your crew have caught up on their sleep.

Another possibility is running out of fuel. Steaming at Flank speed greatly reduces your mileage, and recharging your batteries also uses a lot of fuel. I believe you're out of luck if that happens.

If neither is the case, I'm sure other more knowledgeable people will be by.

Still have 52% fuel left.... seems to last forever if you go at about 10 knots

Heh..... Just checked and you were bang on the money..... I'd left my crew on battlestations when there's no threat. For the third time today. Stupid me.

Thanks for the help

Yes, well I think you can guess how I came to be so familiar with this situation.

Good to hear you're enjoying the game, and that you have fuel. Freemantle is a long haul.

Cheers, welcome aboard, and hope you get out of blighty soon.
