The first boats entered the Atlantic on the 15th, two weeks before the war started so they were on station and could strike as soon as hostilities commenced.
To simulate this, GWX begins on the 1st, a full 35 days before the war.
We have included two early missions to act as shakedown patrols.
The engine of SH3 requires a patrol to start on the first of the month.
If you use SH3CMDR, you can set the days in port to, say, 21 days. That way you do your shakedown patrol, and leave early enough to be in position to start the war in place with your second patrol
