Corpus Christi in Olefin's T2KU campaign

[Olefin]

I am starting this thread as a suggestion from one of the moderators here on how I might present the differences in my campaign world that started as a player and now continue over to me as a GM. As such this is presented for discussion and information and not to be seen as "official" in any way except as how it pertains to my campaign.

My GM had us play both in the Gateway to the Spanish Main and in Last Submarine Trilogy as he wanted to do a naval element in our play (mainly because we added a couple of Navy ROTC guys to our group). There were differences in Gateway as well that I may get to one day but for now will just start with the Corpus Christi.

As such one thing he noticed immediately was how the Corpus Christi in Gateway is supposed to sink the freighter with the Cubans on board in Nov2000 - but according to Last Submarine by then Carlucci had her and she was not only unarmed but not in any condition to sail at that time.

So how did he resolve that conundrum?

Answer: He changed Last Submarine to fit the events of the Gateway to the Spanish Main by having the USN still have the Corpus Christi in her possession. However she didnt have any torpedoes left on board and she needed parts for her fire control system and other items (i.e. thus working the dud torpedoes from Gateway into the equation)

In addition he introduced three other USN subs that were stranded in various parts of Europe needing parts to be able to become operational again, all of which had last been seen in the USN sub base in CT before it was overrun or at the Weymouth Naval Depot. Thus the Last Submarine scenario became instead of a quest for a submarine it became a quest, in our player universe, for submarine parts and weapons. Some of those parts turned out to be with Carlucci's boys, some were in RI and a others with the Black Widows at Weymouth.

As secondary operations, if possible, we were to establish contact with the Gloucestermen and with the DIA operative with the 43rd to be able to assist MilGov in beginning to re-establish control of New England.

The Christi herself was used to be able to insert us for the raid on Weymouth which is how we started the module along with what was left of a SEAL Team which was to assist us there in obtaining the supplies and weapons (which were thought to all be there but werent of course)
