Map change needed - Scapa Flow

Post by SMK-at-work »

Scapa flow should be adjacent to the Atlantic I think....and/or new build British transports shouldn't arrive there.

I just had some German ships intercept some transports in the Nth Sea...only the transports weren't headed for the north sea - they were supposed to be in the Nth Atlantic so I presume they were in the Nth Sea in transit.....it seems a long way around to go from Scapa Flow through the Nth Sea to get to the Atlantic.

Not really, since Scapa Flow is on the wrong place on the map anyway, it's on the east coast of Scotland (which isn't on the map). Hence going through the North Sea to get to the North Atlantic makes sense.

Scapa Flow is located strategically with the North Sea to east and the Atlantic to the west.

Yes it's in the Orkney isles off the north coast of Scotland - not on the coast of Scotland anywhere.

Forgot to mention the most important reference: "Stretching for ten miles at its widest, this natural harbor was flanked by the North Sea on the east and the Atlantic Ocean on the west. This strategic location held a key vantage point - for it enabled quick forays into either of these shipping routes.".
