thats like me that just wants to take panama canal from that cape thingy in west of mexico and the game decide that the best pathing is to go around south america and get in from the caribean.
Oddly enough the Russians beat this irl in terms if stupidity by sailing the Black Sea fleet around Africa all the way to japan in the Russo Japanese war. They were denied access to the suez after they fired in suspected Japanese vessels in the North Sea. The North Sea. They were British fishing boats and the incompetency of the Russian navy almost started a war with Britain.
In all fairness, I did this in HoI3 once since Britain would not surrender unless I took _more_ provinces. Except I at least had puppeted South Africa to serve as a jumping point first, lol.
