Sank a French Rongel SOS (Deck Gun)

Sank a Greek Steel Viking Tanker (Torpedo)

Sank a British Rongel SOS (Deck Gun)

Went to my Campaign CFG file to add them to my total, and yes, already added.

Tonnage Bar has decided this evening that it is going to work.

Totally unpredictable.

I can confirm, this worked for me, I'd stopped playing until I had more time to read the CFG files and try and learn how to manipulate the tonnage, very well done.

It works alright, but, in my case, I can no longer synchronize my games through uplay.

Always have to load "local saves".

Hi Sandman

Using your Local Save Games is exactly what you want.

You do not want or need to synchronize your games.

Ok, for a moment there I thought I was doing something wrong or my computer or internet was wrong.

Hi Sandman

I have been following (or trying to follow) your tutorial but cant find the mission that I am playing "North Western Approaches", my last date in the saved games folder is 2014 so it looks as if none of this years saves have registered
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Terry

Any games that you have played no matter when will automatically go to the SaveGames folder and show the last save date and the time of that save.

If when running your game you go to the save screen and delete any of the Autosave In Game or Autosave Enter Base saves then these will automatically drop out of your SaveGames folder.

I think North West Approaches (NWA) in OHII is the same as the Stock Games Blockade Of Germany (BOG)

So you will not see NWA in your SaveGames Campaign CFG file as it is under a different name.

In NWA it a tonnage total amount you need where as in BOG it is to find 5 AMC’s.

There is also the British Western Coast in the Campaign CFG file which I cannot remember seeing when playing the game.

See my tutorial Post #188 for full instructions how to manually enter the tonnage amounts.

Thanks Peter I have printed out the instructions and will try again later (after shopping and other jobs SHMBO wants done) I know I must get my priorities in the right order.:)

SHMBO.......She Who Must be Obeyed? Took a while but I worked it out.....I think:)

limkol, yes that's correct.

Hi Peter
I have just followed instructions again and my last save is 17/12/2014.
in the past I have overwritten the top file in the dialogue box that is highlighted.
This time I went into base to restock on the way out I gave the file a more meaningful name, On_way_to_patrol, to see if it made a difference.
In the captains log all my patrols and kills are there so they are updating.
I saved again and gave another name but still no joy.
Only got until the end of the month before campaign ends tonnage is 98,679 with 17 kills.
I might be pleased to end this patrol as all I have been doing is chasing ghost ships and Whales.

Except of course that it's SWMBO, because "Who" starts with a "W".

In case you've ever wondered where it comes from, check here.

Of course you are right (not looking at what I typed), I used to like old "Rumpole of the Bailey" that where I remember it from

Update: i have discovered some strange things while checking my captain journal, the ships that weren't counted have some strange numbers in the date place, while all other have the right date on them...may be this the cause? i am actually checking game files to find out where this numbers are located..
