2) A: Close off the main harbours.
B: Scale down usage on wireless.

3) A: Scout out the North Sea with the zeppeliners.
B: Keep them at home for the time being.

4) A: Refit the secondary forces for battle once more.
B: Keep them at home.

5) A: Return the Rheinland and Westfalen to the High Seas Fleet.
B: Let them stay, they are some of the oldest ships in the active fleet.
1: A is the way to go. B won't solve any problem and with few true assets. C is way too early and the British could easily intercept us with their intelligence all over us.

2: There is no real question except to choose B. I second the notion of changing the passwords, however, at least internally if the High Command refuses. It'll keep the code guys active, too, and delay the British intelligence.

3: Hard choice...but I'd go for B and keep them fresh and safe for now at home. Whatever scouting benefits, however useful, might cause us some unnecessary -- and potentially weakening -- loss of zeppelins, whether from real damage or exhaustion.

4: B, Keep them at home, but not dismantle them. We cannot waste our resources on them right now with the chance of raising an alarm all too early for no benefits, but we might need them later in desperate cases or tactical maneuver.

5: A, return and refit the Rheinland and Westfalen for full service. Every big gun in big ships hold benefits in our outnumbered, defensive position. Do the Finns really need help?
