Furthering the real sim.
 

Who is introducing espionage into their campaign, and how are you doing it ?
Are you infiltrating a certain harbor on patrol ?
Loitering for a given amount of time off a coastline, simulating deployment of Abwehr agents ?
Shadowing / targeting a particular ship ?
Any of this of course after you've completed your assigned patrol.
Also would you report on what mods, enhancements you are using.
Thank you.

These kind of orders are given when asked for orders to BdU in Operation Spinnennetz.

This week someone asked for orders. I checked a history website for facts of that particular day. There was a secret agent dropped on the Irish coast that day. So I send him and let him pick the agent up again a couple of days later.

I once landed spies off the coast of Ireland in '40. Then I would come back to see if they were ready to be picked up at night. (Roll a d6. First night, one in six chance they're ready, next night, two in six and so on until you roll a success.) Pretty dangerous considering the DD patrols.

Oh, once I had to make a long patrol to the island of Europa in the Mozambique channel to help ferry a courier who was making his way from Madrid to Tokyo. That was fun, too.

I have yet to land saboteurs on the shores of America, though, but may try it in the future. :hmm:

Excellent. A dice roll as a randomiser. Perfect for governing time on station.

The dedicated orders of Operation Spinnennetz, how so are these adjudicated ? Do your recipients provide a "screen shot" as proof of accomplishment ? It certainly would be time coded by the SH3 interface.

Simulating laying a minefield...any comments / suggestions ?
Sketching a field on paper, then tracing it with nav waypoints outside an enemy harbour undetected was an idea, but a close pattern seems impossible without independant drive function in the software.
