And that is just what I did. I am not positive if making a phony [PLAYER] section with the correct name in place was nessesary, but it seems to have fixed the game and saved the carrer! Rolled back and loaded the game from last save at base just to be safe. Thanx again!
So I lost 1 patrol. Ironic as I was making a run through Gibraltar. Think I'll stick with the N. Atlantic
