That is a great read!
(well, only got upto december '39 sofar)
Receiving those radio messaged In GWX 2.1 I kept wondering what was the reasoning behind the orders. I mean, all of a sudden I am not allowed to use my deck gun?????
How the hell am I to become a member of the 100K club any time soon if I am to send only my torps off to a 300t tug or 40t coal barge? Also it shows there is more to merchant warfare than SH3 alows you to experience. I mean, the Prize law thing. They sometimes had to stop the ship and check papers and cargo. Before sinking, or appearantly also sending it in to an Axis port. I just thought, "Ok!?!" when I received stuff about that. And you get a glimpse on the tactical considerations and managing operations Dönitz had to do.
