Thanks everyone for the advice and help. And thanks especially for the link to the other thread where someone was having a similar problem. I should have known it wasn't the game, but my ability to correctly read all the rules and more importantly look at all the pictures!I thought ships went in the same circles that the lairs are built on. I didn't realize they go on the dotted lines between circles.
There is a pretty clear picture in the directions that show you this but of course even though I consider myself a thorough reader, I did not study the picture!
