Interestingly, i un-installed OH11 Full and loaded the Base mod with Environment....i've just entered Keil from the North without hitch.! it would seem the ship component is the issue as suggested.

This is very good info as this would suggest that a ship in kiel is at fault. It must also be time/date related as it did not happen when you left. There are two ships that fit the bill - I will check them out

Q. On route to Keil i was given a new mission area to patrol as part of "Coastal waters"...this was a more productive area and i was going to dock / re-fit / repair and head out to continue the 70,000 ton requirement for the mission.
However as i approached Keil a radio report came in informing me of new objective "Scarpa flow capital ship"...Im now at Keil and have gone to the captin to look at my missions.

The "new patrol area" given for Coastal waters has dissapeared and i would have to select the "Coastal water" mission again, no doubt given a new patrol area again. I also note the Scarpa flow mission has a deadline of Oct 15th, one month ahead.

When you are working on an objective - say sink 70,000t and you sink half of that, it is saved. If you then pick a another objective - scapa flow, you can do it and also the 70,000t at the same time. Any ships you sink will count if they are in the right area. So sink a ship on the east coast when you are on the scapa objective and it will count towards the east coast object

1. What happens if you do not complete a mission by the deadline?

Then you will get no stars for it.

2. Do you need to complete all missions to proceed to the following year in the campaign (would seem a little gamey..and annoying).

No - if a campaign needs 10 stars and you get 8 - you will still get a victory.
If you do not get enough stars for a victory - the game will still go on.
There are some campaigns that is you fail, the next campaign will be blocked.
It will always give to another campaign to do. If you look at the campaign tree - you can take another path to continue.

3. Im not sure if i fancy the "one-off" mission of Scarpa flow, but would like to contiue hunting of the east coast via "Coastal mission"... do i get penalised for this?, losing renown is ok, but losing the game would make it just that.

No - you just wont get the star for it.

Thanks again, hope the findings are of some help.
