Question on orders vs. opportunity - Page 2

armed with this "knowlege", I think I will scout out the convoy visually, and send a contact report to await further orders. Will let you know what happens. Thanks!

As a commander, I would first scout send a contact report and hope for a reply in time. Otherwise my orders to deploy a spy would hold precident, unless the convoy happened across my bow at 90 degress.

Thanks, I haven't played SHIII in awhile so I don't recall the specific circumstances. I'll try to get visual and try reporting closer to base in the future and see if it makes a difference.
