Gents,
Having started my first new career in GWX Gold, I have gone back to basics with the little IIA...wonderful to have to take our time about getting anywhere, and being choosey about everything. I forgot how good it was.
Anyhow, it has reminded me of a burning question I've been meaning to ask for some time...consumables. Food & Water. I like to keep it a (pretend) issue. A while back I had fun on a mission, where I got stranded in the caribeean, for 6 weeks...

So what do you think? How long should a little IIA be able to stay out for...foodwise?
At the moment I'm returning to base after a month...even if I still have eels. What about the rest of the boats? VIIC is my favourite weapon of choice and I have always kept it to roughly two months.
Playing it as an issue, opens up some interesting avenues...such as stocking up on uninhabited islands, sea-fishing for a few days (at risk of air attack) and perhaps trying to sneak into a neutral port.
(Remind me to recount the time I sent bernard ashore on the canary islands...to shop...dressed as a woman.)
