Narrows Bug

[Dragol]

In my humble opinion, sneaking through the Gibraltar port to avoid op fire from Morocco is a bug. There is no tunnel that I know of which connects the Atlantic to the Western Med and portage of battleships up and down the cliffs seems a bit unrealistic.

Nonetheless, that is the way the game is designed. OpFire in general has innumerable "strange circumstances" that at their root are "consistent" with regard the basic rules, yet lead to some occasional oddities. FOr an abstract game, look on it as the advantage accrued to controlling the fortress dominating the approaches, and affording protections, while control of spanish morroco is lees dominant a position and may not allow you to control the straights, it too allow a safe haven for supplies and units if not fleets to transit in and out.

Okay fine, but why didn't you tell me that BEFORE I got my entire navy wiped out.
