Patrol 1:
0 Ships sunk
0 dud torpedoes
0 tonnage

The weather was nasty, storms and fog , never saw a soul.
Nothing worth mentioning happened.
The only ships we saw were are own and they weren't even out at sea.

(It was pretty boring, didn't even see a plane:-?)

[JokerOfFate]

U-13 will be leaving shortly on a Weapons test patrol.


(I'm still a little annoyed about that last patrol, lets hope the brits don't have their fog machine on this time)

[smilinicon]

Good luck!


February 1940 partrol round starts around 31.10.2010.

There is never a penalty for taking too long to do patrols as real-life duties are different for all. One can always catch up by time warping while in port.

Use a startime within the Dec/Jan period if starting a patrol this week.
