It is just a bit of a shame that part of the challenge involves figuring out what things mean and how to do things rather than just the things to do. > > Anyway, any help would be great. A plus sign on a character's portrait means they qualify for a field promotion. Use the 'radio' button in the top right corner of the screen and radio in an 'update'. You can go directly to the character's screen and allocate the points, but I think that does not exactly do the same things. I think you get extra skill points or experience points when you radio in for a promotion. Not 100$ certain on this but that is what it looked like to me on one occasion. -P. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com
