I gotta say I was beginning to think this would be the embarrassment to end all embarrassments. Never ever have I in all the years being playing this game EVER returned to port with my original load of torps. I know it happened many times INRL but even then it must have been absolutely demoralising for the crew.
Posted out of Lorient (GWX) I was given the grid DR33, its a fair stretch from Lorient and yes, I will admit I spent a good time on the surface burning fuel and did turn my nose up at a schooner (though it could have been neutral - it was night and black as the ace of the spades) but arrived at my post and all I can say is there was ZILCH!!!! Absolutely nothing. My crew donned Hawiaan shirts and we toured the Casablanca-New York route until our fuel reached critical.
But, this has a good ending. Crawling to our only port of survival, Corrientes , I did encounter a medium cargo and was at least able to ask for a replenishment of torpedoes in addition to fuel!!!!
