I know the stock patrol radii are 55nm. I sit there and let it accept I have done my patrol---then I do my patrol. I stay near the star, but I PATROL the area. Maybe when I redo all the patrols you can take them literally, but face it, the same attention was paid to the patrols that was paid to the campaign in general. It was copy and paste.

I assume that they put the star in the area near the spot I feel is the best hunting ground, and go there. So I do move around a bit, and I use patrol patterns.

Remember, that entire western pacific region was being covered by what, 15 or 20 boats? And the pig boats were all put close in to shore in RL. So a handful of fleet boats did the entire china sea, celebes, etc.

BTW, one reason there are more merchants a little closer to shore in the early war, is that I figured they'd be coming and going from lots of ports close to their troops. I could have added every single little port with traffic, but decided to just generalize it towards the coasts. Sort of picking my battles, it's easy to get buried in minutiae.
