fiddled a bit with the uplay launcher, set it to sync savegames again (turned that off a long time ago)

reloaded a save in the fjord, with german taskforce in sight, a sunk V&W norwegian DD sunk just in front of me, the narvik port in sight. basically against all the savegame rules, in other words.

sailed out info the fjord, encounted a norwegian hog freighter, sunk it inside operations area with deck gun. shows up in the captain diary with timestamp 0000.00.00 but this time, it DOES count towards the top mission bar!
so much for that theory, i guess.

mission bar is: sink ships in narvik area of operations (circle is in the big fjord). now 1/5 filled after sinking that 4000 ton Hog A.
second objective is to sink english ships approaching norwegian coast.

i'll see if i can get back to that convoy to see what that does with the objective.

so far all i can say is that syncing savegames with cloud seems to help...
