Afternoon everyone. A question bout trade routes..

There is a very helpful map that comes along with the game CD. It has the "trade routes".

And just FYI, for historical knowledge:

* The US Navy was suprisingly lax and tardy in taking advantage of the Luzon Strait. Take a look at the East Asian littoral - if anything should be labelled 'chokepoint', it's the Luzon Strait. The service didn't really start patrolling it regularly 'til '43.

* The Bungo Suido and Kii Suido (western and eastern entrances to Japan's Inland Sea, respectively) should not be overlooked - again, historically fruitful.

* Coast of Indochina can be good - ask the late, great George Grider, skipper of the Flasher.

* Cutting off traffic to the Solomons and the outer Pacific islands is worth a hunt, too.

As always, weigh your risk in shallow waters versus the pickings to be had.

Sadly, the map is not with all versions of the game CD. However, in a similar thread someplace around here is a link to a map which suitably replaces it.

There is a JANAC map the floats around here somewhere. Its the best source for trade routes if your using RSRD

Patrolling just south of the islands (say a sector bearing 135 to 225 from the main islands) out in the 25 to 50 mile range has been very good for me. Lots of traffic passing through in all directions, at least prior to and including mid-1943...
