I've only ever played it until mid/late 1942, but I'm puzzled. Starting the game, there are convoys, i.e., more than one merchant escorted by DDs. There's the invasion of the Philippines and Guadalcanal, but it seems to be just unescorted single merchants throughout, if you can find them. It's kind of fun sending them to the bottom at no risk and it's good target practice, but it becomes redundant and I start to feel sorry for them. There are no "missions" either. Does this change as the game progresses past 42? Do single merchants finally wise up and start travelling in convoys? I don't know what "campaign layers" refers to. Maybe I'm missing something.

Just curious. Having a great game with TMO alone. I can actually be destroyed.
