26 December 1942 BAY OF BENGAL So, after sleeping on it prudence lost the day. I decided to go for daring. Set those ships to full speed and run a course along the expected route the convoy would take towards Calcutta. Give a destination of Port Blair and set a way point 2 hexes away from Calcutta. My hope is that if I do locate the convoy the full speed run will get us well away from aerial threat once daylight arrives.
