@Admiral:
I can see Wolfpacks becoming more prominent in A&A E40’, rather than just a few lone submarines racing through convoy boxes in the Atlantic.
Well at Harris Game Design forum, Larry said that US ships will be able to reach iceland in one turn, and then move to England the next turn. He also said this island will start with an airbase. So we can expect allied transport will transit via the sea zone adjacent to Iceland and they will keep some destroyers there and a bunch of aircraf for scrambling. It would still represent a diversion of ressources… Also, with the US not starting at war, Germany migh be able to take control of that corridor for a while.
Convoy disruption will probably happen more in the southern atlantic costal sea zones, to cut off IPCs from Africa and South America.
Cheers
