Oyy I've been sent to GR91 too, lotta fun!...

Thanks Damo1977 for mentioning a way to change patrol-grids.

As an example, I'm on patrol-7 of my campaign, original patrol-grid is AK13. The save-file name is 'P7' (which is in folder '6').

If I open the file 'P7.psc', and change 'PatrolArea=AK13', to PatrolArea=AN83, this works. Then I can patrol AN83 for 24-hours, and will be awarded 500-points renown.

Although when I'm loading my 'P7' save-game, it still states my patrol-grid is the old 'AK13', but the grid-change still works.

After the save-game loads, pressing F8 and the 'Orders' tab works fine, which has the new/modified grid-area, but the 'Briefing' tab still shows the old grid-info. I can't figure out how to change this.

Btw it'd be neat to have a mod that changes patrols to 'Special' or 'Dangerous-mission' grid, along with some fictional (text) write-up to be read while loading the patrol, or reading the same in the F8-Briefing page.

Then be awarded extra renown for completing Special patrols. There's lots of dangerous or late-war grids, like BF32 (a bit west of Dover) or the 'dreaded' CG96, east of Gibraltar!

Or maybe patrols with a Primary and Secondary grid, with extra renown for patrolling both.

It'd also be neat to have a few random patrols that start in one's home-base, and be ordered to 'Return to:' another base, and still be awarded 200 renown. Probably easier said than done
