[desirableroasted]

Like Sailor Steve, I go out to my grid as ordered. I will deviate if BdU sends me a contact report that does not make me go materially out of my way.

I stay on station 14 days, though my search grids do lop over into other grids. So I am doing my grid and the deep edges of the surrounding ones.

At 14 days, I roll dice. 1-2-3, return to base, though with opportunistic deviations (a convoy report not far off course, etc).

4-5 Stay on station another 14 days, with a roll of dice at the end.

6 Free agent for 30 days, with a roll of dice at end.

It can make for a string of boring patrols (as in real life) but a lot of excitement when BdU suddenly cuts me loose!
