I'll have to check on this one further. The Groundhog Day part is explainable - Because the player might have to return to port and load TLAMS first, you have between 14 and 20 days to complete the mission. So if you have not run out of time, the campaign engine will keep sending you back if it thinks you did not succeed the first time.
So I need to figure out why the campaign thinks you haven't fulfilled the mission goals. Question - Are you sure that you were firing all TLAMs, and not a mix of TLAMs and TASMs (the anti-ship version)? The TLAMs are gray and white, while the TASMs are all white.

I watched Wolfpack345's YouTube video:
Cold Waters || 1990 Campaign || Episode Four - Missile Strike at Murmansk, in which he fired the TLAMs at a nearby red circle. This was probably v1 of your 1990 Campaign.
Keep in mind that I've completed, without credit, Missile Strike at Murmansk three times so far and I'm ordered back again. Yes, I'm firing 8 gray & white TLAMs to the south aimed at the 2 ports. Note, I do not see any red circles, I'm not within any circles and I'm not firing TLAMs at any circles.
Question, when my little blue sub comes close to Murmansk, the mission always starts with a sonar contact. I eliminate the threat and proceed toward Murmansk to fire TLAMs. Is this the correct beginning to the Strike Mission? On one mission, per Jive Turkeys suggestion, I made sure I was within 100nm of the ports.
I'm considering a couple of options until I hear back from you. (1) I'll try to locate and install your v2 to try. (2) I noticed in your Campaign directory there are TLAM strikes for two locations and about 4 or 5 TLAM missions listed. Is it possible, without problems, to delete the TLAM locations and missions from the Campaign directory in your v3 and then replay v3 1990 Campaign from the beginning and thus completely bypass all TLAM missions? Edit: Neither of these options worked!
Would it be possible that when you fail to complete a mission, you're assigned a totally new mission? Are your mission assignments random or are they always assigned and completed in order from A to Z until the end?
Is it possible to produce a Free Roaming version of your 1990 Campaign. I believe there was one for the stock 1984 Campaign that ended with an Insertion Mission. I believe I read that it no longer works with Cold Waters v1.15g
Let me know what you find. Give me some ideas & options to try. Your 1990 Campaign is just TOO GOOD for me not to find away around this problem.
Edit: it seems that v2 is no longer available to download; only v1 and v3.
Correction: I found v2a in the SubSim Download section. v2a is from Jan 2020, v3 is from June 2020; to set the record straight.
Can not delete or remove TLAM missions and location files from Campaign 04 because you get an error message and game will not load.
Thus, is there a way to totally delete the TLAM strike missions from v3? Just curious.
