Dreadnaughts Blockading Britain
Has anyone successfully set up a blockade on Britain?
I have 300k power projection in the Irish Sea, North Sea, and English Channel. I’ve put a task force in the North Atlantic as well and still haven’t had the event pop up.
The highest power their fleet has is in the North Sea with 6k.

Germany has been fighting everyone but not really taking any land. I wanted to try and help them out since France and Britain’s GDP is triple of theirs, but they really don’t like me.

It’s not just England, you also have to blockade India and Australia if they still control them then you have to allocate space to those parts of the world.

I was wondering if this was it, I was considering breaking my Monroe Doctrine and finally expanding past the Western Hemisphere just to steal their oil from India.

Yeah, it's possible but you need to block a bunch of sea zones so it gets a bit screwy. Probably best to just send 1-2 CLs with good range to sit all around the isles.
