Hello all, been lurking since EU came out, think I might have had a login but couldn't remember it, so I get another chance to make a first post 
First of all, a couple of questions. I have read all of the FAQs and looked through the forums, and while that took care of the first 100 or so, I still have a few problems
1) Is it possible to Strategic bomb a province behind Fog Of War? My planes simply fly there and back with no action. If I pause the game when they are 1 province away I can then set the SB option.
2) Bombing (tac and strat) never seems to work if there is any type of aircraft, even a transport with org of 0) in the target province. Am I doing something wrong with my orders?
3) Fighters In experimentation to drive off planes in target provinces, I've tried to send in fighters on intercept and patrol. The defaul option for ME109s though is Tac Bom, with the other options greyed out. They are still selectable, but I'm not sure what action the planes are ordered to carry out.
3) Spain 1936 i I have leant some units to Nationlist Spain, and convoyed supply there. However, Panzers are always out of fuel, and the supply map displays red.
4) Spain 1936 ii I am able to enter Republican provinces, but they do not change ownership to Nationalist. Also, after a couple of weeks my divisions appear to wander around without taking any part in the war.
5) Surrender; Netherlands, UK and France have no European provinces, but refuse even a sue for peace offer. While I understand their stubbon refusal to look facts in the face and surrender, this does mean that France/UK/Netherland territories are a little strange. My fleets always get the order box when I try to move to a port, and I am unable to deploy new divisions in the French provinces. (Game behaves differently when Vichy France is activated, conquered France behaves like German provinces.
BTW, thanks to all the folks who put the FAQ's together.

Now some comments,
I've had the game about a week, though the weekend was the first time I had a chance to play, and had all the info from the forum.
The game has serious flaws, you can read about them in one of 100 different threads, but for all those flaws it's still undeniably great fun. I almost gave up on it early when I couldn't seem to get anything working, but after a couple of run throughs and re-reads I was able to understand production, convoys, research etc and understand what was going right and wrong.
Far from perfect, but that doesn't seem to prevent me from serious sleep deprivation over the last few days. I'm thinking of bringing the CD to work and leaving it here so that I can get a nights sleep
I'm biased through loving EU and EU2 , which I'm still playing, and I hope that Paradox fights through the problems of the game to the end.
