Passenger shipping is now an eligible target sent from 4/9/1939 to 24/9/1939
Small passenger ships are eligiblefrom 24/9/1939 to 27/10/1939
etc.
It also means that a quick press of the 'M' key will give you instant access to the relevant rules, and if the mod is created in a SH3 Commander format it will be compatible with all mods/supermods.
I reckon it'll take a couple of hours if anyone's interested...

Great idea! We are already toying with it.
We have two possible ideas that we are messing around with.
1. Making it SH3 Cmdr compatible with a set of orders at the beginning of each patrol that is updated throughout the patrol by radio supplementals.
2. Making another draggable item that is similar to the map/mines sheet that you have in the upper left hand corner of various mods out there. It would be one (maybe two) sheets that you can drag out that would have all the info on it in a readable format.
Thanx for the advice!
In the meantime, does anyone have a reference for me for those entries that I have posted above. I would really like to get a reference so that I can confirm all the information on the map posted by HW3. If I can confirm all of that stuff, I could move forward. 
Thanx in advance!
