If you have any openings I would greatly appreciate being part of the games, I always leave 2 open slots. I will play any event you can fit me in if possible.
I think the the naval yard and/or the oil fields are the best place to start.
If you can get the dry dock and the cruisers you get a 8 bonus. the whole southern area of that map has the best opportunity for bonuses and is relatively easy to defend.
