Hitman,
Since I posted, I redocked in Panang and am now setting out in August toward my patrol area of "O Afrika" ie Ost Afrika. I have noticed that there isn't a trigger spot to either change the "reach destination" nor the "patrol 24 hours" to completed in the Orders area key F8. I will use that as a basis to patrol East Africa from Madagascar (avoiding the buku aircraft near the Straits of Aden) down to South Africa.
The game (BdU) transfered me to Panang. I was in Lorient at the time and when I got my new mission it showed my "Return to Base" destination to Panang. Which was OK by me, as getting in and out of Lorient by April '44 was getting hairy. I hastily packed up my troprical's and set off.
Steve,
Playing the Game with the type IX is very different from the VII. You are much more in the role of commerce raider and much less that of convoy fighter. You can get orders to the Gulf of Mexico, Cape Town or Panang for that matter. By 1943 the Allies get possitively murderous. By '44 you are lucky to make it back at all.
