Congratulations to the GWX team for the excellent portrayal of Operation Weserübung. I just finished a patrol in U-51 outside of Narvik, and witnessed the arrival of the German task force, followed the next day by the 5 British destroyers. I was not in position to attack them going in, and only had a prayer shot at them as they left, which missed badly. Then late at night on the 12th, here came 9 more British destroyers and HMS Warspite. This time I was in position to attack. I fired all 4 forward tubes at HMS Warspite at 1200M, and all 4 hit sending her to the bottom. The resulting chaos was entertaining to say the least as 9 destroyers tried to find, and dispose of me. I took alot of damage on the first pass, but survived, and they lost me after that. All this took place a ways up the fjord from Bodo, where the fjord really narrows down.

After looking up Operation Weserübung, I found the ship count, type, and timeline were followed precisely. Great job team GWX!
