yeah - maybe so - guess I'll try again - when I went back to reload (after reading some old "africa" posts) I did get to start in Kiel but got a "null" patrol mission to basically transfer to Wilhelmshaven. Figuring I didn't want to go on a real patrol and risk having it screwed up when I got back, I decided just to sail around from Kiel to Wilhelmshaven and see if it would let me start a normal patrol from there.
Well, I got to the new base, and (although all I had done was sail straight from port to port) it told me I was "ausgezeichnet" and awarded me both the Ritterkreuz and the Ritterkreuz mit Eichenlaub :rotfl:
I guess maybe I'll start over with the install and see if I can get a good one this time
