I was enroute thru the channel last evening heading towards my patrol sector in late 1939 and decided "why not swing by Calais and see what is there"..

And what do i see... 12000 tons of sitting duck along with 2 more tankers, 2 merchants and a V&W. All told, 30k tons in 25 minutes.. and the only offensive ship i see, a torpedo boat.. :)

One fish to that 12k ton tanker is all it took, but now i'm heading home, as i only have 2 torps left and gave up even trying to sail to my patrol zone.

Going thru DER KANAL!, Sinking neutral shipping and disobeying BDU orders, i think you will be in uncle Karls office on your return, are you trying to make 48 german women widows ?

Hmm, the port is red and the flags were blue,white,red vertical bars, which according to the web is France.. and we are at war with them. The V&W had flags of England flying, as did a few other ships including the torpedo boat that was bugging me.

We shall see when i return to port i guess...

Perhaps the Frenchman responsible for the blackout enforcement was elsewhere, you'd better hope so or it will be a sunny wall, a cigarette and blindfold of your choice for you...:-?

I RTB and wasn't punished, but did sink 13k tons of Neutral ships.. oops..

Only got 300 reknown for it.. not good considering over 38k was sunk. I never made it to my patrol sector so maybe that hurt it a lot..

It should be considering there isn't a "front" there yet :)
