Quote:You have raised a lot of valid questions Rob. This one is, in my opinion, the most important of all. I wouldn't see that as a problem. The cargo-fleet would easily find the army. First of all, the cargo-fleet would not seek for the army but for the war-fleet.OK, our points of departure differ. I was thinking of BNikos' proposal of small fleets or single ships providing supplies on a daily basis. One large fleet would not need to seek out the troops each day. I see your point, even though I think it's so easy for captains who may not know the coast very well.
