RUN USMC

The USMC program lets you attack enemy land sectors with an entire fleet.

Movement is plotted automatically, all you need is to have your fleet close enough to attack with. This saves you the trouble of having to plot individual assaults with individual ships.

Note that with most tool programs, not every instance works. In the example below the last ship 371 fails with an error. I solved the problem by reassigning ship 371 to another fleet number and ran it again.

A sample listing follows:
