Honch Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 In my Expanded Scenario I have the Admiral Graf Spee in the South Atlantic in the starting OOB, however, it runs out of supply very fast. I understand that German ships used to use Montevideo in Uruguay? to re-supply. What was the status of that nation. Was it strictly neutral? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgin Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Honch: Yes, Uruguay was neutral From Worldwar2database.com The German Pocket Battleship Admiral Graf Spee, a heavy cruiser armed with 15" guns, was chased into Montevideo by three British cruisers. Much to Hitler’s dismay, the captain landed his crew, scuttled the ship, and killed himself. The Allies, desperate for victories, made a bigger deal of the Battle of the River Plate than its actual military significance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin P. Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 You could add a corner land tile and a port in the southeastern Atlantic. Assign it to a nation named Uruguay which is allied with Germany. Then German subs and surface ships could be resuppplied from here, if they don't encounter any waiting Allied ships. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
