@sharps54 Are you still looking for players? I live in Fredericksburg. We have a group that meets regularly in Woodbridge to play A& A. We usually play a variant called Bloodbath, as well as Global 40, 1914, and Anniversary.
maybe youshould try daak.de. It is a German website so there are most likely alot of Germans there. Random fact: I have a cousin who lives on a miltary base in Germany(one of past ones were near munich)
Are we playing with submerging/retreating subs? No submerging subs. Only retreating after a round of combat. But if combat is over, the attacking subs cannot still retreat.
and
Can you place naval units in occupied seazones? No.
