Well the original mission was to take pictures, which I did. Between picture destinations I ran accross an enemy task force. I took out a light cruiser and four destroyers, along with 3 of the 8 transports they were protecting. This took two days (game time) and all my torpedos, and some deck gun action to finish off a wounded, left behind destroyer.
Finally I got the last pic and completed the mission. While I was doing all this the Japs captured Manilla, so I couldn't return to my original base. That's when I spent a week (game time) to get to Midway.
And once there I can't end the patrol. Just refit or postpone. I cruised all around the 2 islands there trying to "end patrol"
I worked hard on this mission. Maybe I was supposed to not fight in the damn war and just evade the task force to take pictures like I was on holiday.
Frustrating.
