Total nerd question: the Standard Dip map has a waterway thru northern
Germany that enable the German player to order from Hel - Kie - Bal (or
vice-versa). There is no such waterway in real-life Germany. Did it used to
be? Or is it a design conceit to add balance to the game? Anybody familiar
with the history of this?
