Either a VIIB or C, I've been starting between Jan-June of '42 from La Spezia.
Occasionly for no apparent reason it will give me a patrol grid, but mostly it just says '0'
.
I know commander lets me assign a grid (except for the first one
) but then I would have to work out a bunch of proper grids (eg, not on land) and choose them randomly each time
.
