- Excuse me? Gibraltar on my board is in only one sea zone. There's at
- least a quarter inch between the west-most part of Gibraltar and the
- vertical line that separates the "atlantic" sea zone and the Gibraltar
- sea zone. But that's not the line in question. You say that Gibraltar
- and Southern are in the same sea zone. That's wrong. Look in the folds
- of the board, there is a line there. It's upper (northern) intersection
- with europe is in the same place that the land territories Western
- Europe and Southern Europe meet. OK?
-
- The UK battleship goes just south of Gibraltar on the board the German
- transport and battleship go just south of Southern Europe, and the lone
- German sub goes in the territory marked "Atlantic"
