Hello Mark & John.
I would like to suggest some changes to your beautiful map.
While i really love the new changes to the convoy zones.. i have on the other side mixed feelings about the sea zones.
I feel they were rushed.
Let me show you:
Operation Paukenschlag (Drumbeat)
The Germans send Uboats to the U.S Coast.
On the new map this is only possible from Brittany \ Lorient. Looking on a real map i don't see why this shouldn't also be possible from bay of biscay (there were other sub pens )
On the old map this is working, even with the new rules but on the newer map the US Coast has a "frontline" of sea zones to make this impossible.
Italian Submarines in the atlantic
While this is historical correct, it is no longer possible in the new map.
You can move out tactical.. have to reach a friend port ( Bay of Biscay would work) .. but you can't move back to italy through the straight of Gibraltar because that would be now 5 sea zones ( without the help of german merchant raiders)
So there were some options to suggest. (I prefer the second one)
- Allowing submarines not to move back but getting an out of supply marker when shooting.. so they have to go back for ammunition.
- Changing the sea zones around spain\portugal to make a tactical move from France to Mediterranean possible again (2 examples to choose from)
- Changing the rule that you can path the enemy straight with subs in the non-combat Phase without problems
Casablanca
That sea Zone is kinda odd. I would allow to move through (blue line)
Harbor Changes
I've sent John some Harbor changes / additions
Maybe you can look at it together.
