ORIGINAL: Zorachus99 I know it's bizzare, but the great lakes should be at least one sea zone. Size would warrant it. The Aral Sea too would warrant it, but I did not raised the question because I wondered if it was useful or not. If war goes to this point, it is useful, because Sea Areas allow for Ships and planes to patrol them, as well as supply to be traced for, and troops to be transported across them. All of which are impossible with Lakes. History may warrant it too, because I seem to remember that there were training warships sailing the Great Lakes, especially a training Carrier. SThe question for the Great Lakes would be : - Can a warships sail from one of those to all the others, thus having one Sea Area ? - Can warships sail from them to the Atlantic through the St Laurent ? It would also need a rule to restrict its access to the possession of one keypoint such as London for the North Atlantic & Brest, or to the possession of some hexes such as the Kiel & Suez Canal. I am not sure what is the largest ship class that can fit through the St. Laurent, but ore carriers of many tens of thousands of tons routinely make the transit, and as noted there were two training CVEs, Wolverine and Sable. A rule limited to cruisers, CVEs, and subs would probably be fair. U-505 is currently deployed in the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. Mackinac Island (the strait between upper and lower peninsula), Sault-St. Marie (to Lake Superior), and Detroit (Huron to Erie) are chokepoint hexes through which opposed transit would be extremely difficult. No automobiles or mechanized troops are allowed on Mackinac Island, where Fort Mackinac is currently guarded by a vast array of horsedrawn carriages and fudge shops.
