One unsuccessful patrol from U-48 War Journal, but a good example of the use of Mission Orders.

Good read.

THat kind of stuff is good advertisement for the mod. Will certainly consider it.


W-B, do you think it would be possible to install your mod in the middle of a campaign?

As long as you install when in port and not while at sea there won't be a problem.

I've got to the bottom of this one and there is an easy (although time consuming for the modder) cure. The only potential issue is missing some messages when you're at high TC but that can be mitigated fairly easily.
