I wouldn't quite call it "taken advantage" - they are in very shallow waters (I got knocked down to the floor bed from periscope depth a few times in a gale), so if one DD gets a fix on you it's very difficult to get away to tell the story.

:hmm: seems like U-124 helped in this operation to
Yes - I mentioned in my first post that my back-up plan was to try and intercept U-105, U-106 and U-124 NW of Cap Verde, since they engaged the BB Malaya and convoy SL-68 after Scarnhorst and Gneisenau aborted and sailed for the North Atlantic. As Bigboywooly mentioned, then this is not scripted, so neither the U-boats nor convoy SL-68 are to be found at that time and place.

I'm sorry to hear that - is it because the task-force always run aground in foul weather? It's a great "scenario" with some different challenges than the normal convoy attacks, so I hope yoiu guys manage to keep it in there. Perhaps adding a few more feet of water might do the trick.

I haven't done any modding in SHIII, but if coding the scenarios is only half as tedious as it is in Rome Total War and Civilization IV, then I understand why some of them are only partly implemented. Personally I find scenarios to be the most interesting part of mods - it just adds so much more to the game when you can dive into a slice of history.
