Well after a very long R&R and my Hard Drive blowing up so having to reinstall SH3 as well as GWX3 and SHCmdr plus the Mods I had previously, I'm now back as skipper in my UBoat II.
I intend to continue as long as I can in this type until I either survive the war (unlikely) or spend eternity in Davy Jones' Locker (more than likely)
Wish me luck and good hunting!
