The board being hexagonal - rotating the board (and effectively the pieces) so that the wind is from the top of the screen.

Everything would actually be identical but infrequent/new players (such as myself) would not get so easily confused by drifting ships if they always drifted 'down' the screen.

In some games they drift in directions I (erroneously) don't expect

i dont think that would be a particular advantage
wind direction is pretty clearly indicated on the board already...those lovely little blue arrows

the original rules on drifting in WSIM are quite
frankly abysmal and not entirely sure what they based them on
personally i would suggest that drifting ships be made an option in the scenario if it already isnt


Yes, the drift rules are silly and ruin a good game.
