I know this game is a million years old and has been superseded by later versions, but it's still good, fast fun. One thing I've never understood is those red arrow symbols by Spain, that appear to lead round the Cape, presumably the long haul if the Italian Navy has won in the Med. BUT I've left naval units sitting on them, I've sailed south through them, and they never seem to pass onwards to Suez.

Anyone still reading this forum and can tell me how they work?

Cheers

I think this is what you're talking about.

The Allies can't use the arrows for sending ships around Africa, only troops, and it's a one way trip. Just move a transport onto the arrow and at the end of the turn the transport will begin its journey to Egypt going around the Cape.

If Egypt falls to the Axis before the troops arrive they will turn around and return to the South Atlantic.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I know this game's very out -of-date but it is good, fast, fun.
