Kerguelen did have its one World War II moment of fame. In 1940 the German auxiliary cruiser Atlantis while ducking British cruisers in the Indian Ocean, hid in one the the channels there to take on water and fix grounding damage. A crewman fell to his death while painting the ships funnel and was later buried ashore in what was called "the southernmost of all German war graves". They described the place as a Godforsaken wilderness.

Very interesting!

Please do if no objections from anyone? There is a reason the Gulf of Mexico was a target for Nazi subs and it was ports like New Orleans and Mobile.

Plus, with every port you add to the map you're increasing a nation's MPP base aren't you?. The United States is already a powerhouse in that regard.

Any introduction of a new port will change the already existing balance. I think it is hard to be precise at this map scale and options must be made. We saw in the map, particularly in the pacific, Islands that are much bigger that they are in reality just for gameplay reasons.

It's all good. Leave the geo-coordination of the Pacific Northwest, to Lewis & Clark. Those two had some extra help or some special tools, that's for sure. For historical purposes, they got it covered with CEO Kaiser. History, I'm talking about history. David Farragut is the expert on invading Mobile, Alabama.

Make Mobile, Portland, Jacksonville ports and reduce Las Vegas so the MMPs add up the same, doesn't hurt the game balance at all.
