So I've read that saving a game can be treacherous. I guess that's what's happened here, but I'm wondering if I can edit a savegame to bring my crew back to life?

I'm on 2nd Patrol from Pearl starting Jan 4, '42 "Patrol Marshall Islands". So I luck out on the Feb 3, '42 after 30 days of nada and I find a large IJN Task Force heading SSW @12 knots. I set up for the 2 Kongos and the Shikoku Carrier. Take out the first Kongo and dive. Sneak away @ 280ft. Reaquire the fleet a few hours later & take out the second Kongo and dive. Sneak away again. Have a good line on where they're heading so I surface and set up to reaquire in a few hours for the carrier.

At this point I'd beeen playing fer hours and was gettin tired. I hear "ship spotted" and see that's a picket DD on the outskirts of the task force so I decide to have some fun before I go to bed. He hadn't spotted or attacked me at the time so I saved the game, turned to attack with the deck gun and had a running battle for about 15 minutes before I got wasted. I'm running RFB 1.52 + RSRD.

I just loaded up my savegame and all my deck crew are dead!?

So do I just have to accept this BS or even worse restart my campaign? Or is their a utility to access the savegame files?

Any thoughts would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

Regards,
