Its 2nd November 1939 for me at the moment,and just recieved a radio message for all UBoats to abandon any attempts of using the shortcut through the channel...guess what?,I am just west of Bordeaux at the moment and have just come under fire from a small French warship.How the hell did he spot and manage to hit me from such extreme range?
Regardless,I am comitted now being inside the 'net' and will proceed to my grid just south of Ireland,unless HE or the mines dont get me first!
If I survive my channel run I will probably stop using it in the future,and go the bloody long way,and we all know where I mean
NOTE- whats the mine situation like about 20km from the French coastline all the way through the channel?
