Ok Jim, I've got to ask. Is there any rhyme or reason to which signal flags you used for which forum? Of did you just pull them out of a hat? I don't mind, I've just been racking my brain, what little I have left, as to why you chose the the X flag for General Quarters, or V for carpenter's shop, etc.

There was for some of them. Others didn't have any flags that came close so they are more random. General Quarters was the last to get one so had to pick from what was left.

If anyone has any suggestions for switching any of them though... NOW is the time. Lol

Do you have to be limited to one flag? Could you have GQ for general quarters, BB for battleship, etc?

a little bit....
I can't remember where I got this web page, but it is pretty handy for setting up your signal flags on your ships.
