Update:
Well, my idea worked like a charm. U-2 sailed out of kiel on August 1st and reached the mouth of Gilbraltar around august 27th. Costing almost half the fuel supply. Anticipating war the crew rested and conducted drills and manuevers untill sep 3. U2 got the first kill of the war sinking a British Granvielle Type freighter, beating the sinking of the Athena by less than a half Hour. U2 sank another British merchant, a passanger Cargo on the 6th of sept. On the 7th U2 scored it biggest victory of her patrol, spotted 2 french merchants travelling together. Sank both a Large Merchant and a medium cargo.
Heading towars Las Palmas U-2 spotted a British ore carrier and sank her. 5 torps, 5 hits, 5 ships sunk. Tonnage 30,757. U2 headed to Las Palmas and docked with the German Supply ship Corrientes on the 13th. (There is where I am waiting for my next palying time day)
U-2 refueled and rearmed. The crews mingled and had a feast in celebration of the victorious patrol. Talk turned to the armies advance in Poland, then the talk died down as each man went to his own thoughts; the dark cloud of war had fallen over Eurpoe, could Germany handle both Britian and France?
Having resuppled, U-2s crew is resting and awaiting departure from the canary islands back to Germany, and the encounters with the enemy inbetween.
After I played this patrol, my interest was intrigued, and I looked up information on the suppy ship corrientes online and found this link. a good read to any interested:
