Who leave Kiel - follow the course taken in RL then dock at Brest

The uboats and convoys are not scripted

Thanks for the info. The manual is a little misleading, since it does describe and display the actions of the different surface units. I guess I've just wasted a good 8-10 RL hours chasing this scenario.

No you cannot refuel from the tankers for the 2 BCs
Convoys spawn near ports not actually in them due to game limitations

Thanks - it makes sense that they spawn around ports, it makes the intel from SH Gen a little more useful.

Yes - I'm aware that it's just a general guide and that convoys would of course alter their routes. However, they would not alter them thousands of nautical miles as they would need to follow the currents and weather of the Atlantic. Not following the currents would mean that they would make zero movement over ground, so it's actually inaccurate that convoys are to be found so far off the general Atlantic crossing routes.
