Invasion formations run relatively slowly, but usually have a large escort.
Combat teams are always running at high speeds and it is usually very difficult to attack them after discovery.
Lurker has arranged this pretty exciting.

So if you are looking for action, observe the access roads of Truk or patrol in the Solomon Islands off Guadalcanal.


i understand all that but being based in fremantle does not get me missions patrolling truk. and this is june 1942 so no one knows what guadalcanal is yet.
