If CVB Midway was too big to pass through the Panama Canal, why does she arrive from reinforcements at Balboa?


Well into the AE development effort the size of the Midway and Montana classes being too big to fit through the Panama Canal had been overlooked. Not a significant game design issue in itself.

Appearing at Balboa represents the first available port after rounding Cape Horn. Arriving at any other off map hex would have allowed a player to "sail" these classes through the Canal and of course then there would be howls of protest about that.

Well, I did say it was a silly question.

Just imagine the questions you'd have if the Tillman Maximum Battleship had actually been built.

I actually do have another somewhat silly question, but that isn't it...
