Hi Everyone

I have a question about rearming your boat in spain. I have done it a few times while going further down south in my IXB but last time I went to spain was after completing GLORIOUS patrol - to give you a hint I walked through the convoy being escorted solely by HMS Rdoney (no survivors on the british side)
I docked with the milk cow and and everything worked well but I havent received any renown/medals/promotions for my crew.
So here is the question: when you finish a "good" patrol at the milk cow do you forfeit all the rewards you would normally get by docking at your home base?

P.S: sorry for a chaotic post, typing from work while thinking how to solve a few problems I got here today :damn:

It's a while since I've played SH3, but from what I can remember, the no medals/promotions thing does happen when you dock away from your home base be it a milch cow or another land base.

One way around that would be to use SH3 Commander.

On the contrary.....when docking at a milch cow or Spanish port you should receive renown, medals/promotion and supplies. The only function your unable to carry out is 'upgrading equipment' :yep:

Thanks for the replies guys.
Yeah, I wasnt able to open that little notepad with crew information after docking in Spain so not sure about renown but no medals/promotions for sure. In that situation docking in spain would only make sense if you are on the way somewhere further away and havent killed much on the way.
:nope:

To get access to the awards and medals, you must "open the grey personnel's cabinet at the "office" and click on "crew". ;)

You mean it cannot be done from the regular screen at the end of the mission as usual? (desk with files and folders on it)

...Actually I think I'll just save the game at some point and test it instead of asking stupid questions :roll:

It's ok, don't worry.... :rotfl:
There are many things that they are not easy to discover.... or not obvious at least... Happened to me many times with many other things. :know: ;)

There are no stupid questions on this forum :nope:
