6.3.4.2.1 Storms
Ship's Navigation is endangered by storms. On all three maps storms will appear at different times:
Europe: in the month of December 18 to 22 storms will appear. Until March two storms will either appear or disappear monthly. In April all storms will disappear.
Caribbean: in November 10 to 15 storms will appear. Until February up to two storms can appear or disappear monthly. In March all storms will disappear.
India: In April 10 to 15 storms will appear on the map. Until July up to two storms can appear or disappear monthly. In August all storms will disappear.
Notes:
A storm can move up to three co-ordinates a month in any direction.
A storm will be indicated by a '*' on the map.
A storm will not be larger than 5 co-ordinates.
A ship moving through a storm co-ordinate will suffer 1 to 5% additional attrition.
Storms appear at the beginning of each turn and their movement is very difficult to anticipate.
