Real Life Transfers

I choose a realistic crew from the beginning, and enable realistic transfers.
The second time I am nudged to cut a senior officer loose for his own boat, I do so. Though only one at a time.

And then (and this is really nerdy), I roll dice for everyone else:

1-2 means the person is up for transfer.
If I roll 1-2 for them, I roll again, with a 1-2 meaning they are dismissed for transfer. Each crewman has an 11% chance of being transferred out, which means I lose about 5 each time.

This can wreak havoc, of course. You might lose no one. You might lose all your watch and hydrophone POs.

And, given the bureaucratic inefficiency of the time, I don't find it odd. I just roll with it and move on.
