Having fun...and I haven't even done anything yet.

I'm 1.5 hours into my VERY FIRST CAREER! I've got a VIIB heading towards the southwest shores of England. My very first patrol!

I have to say, it's oddly entertaining just playing the game without time compression and just...sailing along.

Anyways, wanted to share my excitement, AND ask some questions.

1 - MODS
============================
I'm currently running this:

GWX - Lite Harbor Traffic
OLC 'Gold' MkII ~ Option 4 ~ Environment with EDE and GUI with LRT
OLC 'Gold' MkII ~ Flat Sun Fix
GWX - Late War Sensors Snorkel Antennas (OLC 'Gold' MkII ~ LRT)
OLC 'Gold' MkII ~ MkIId Update (Enable After MkIIc)
ACM Reloaded for OLC 'Gold' MkII
ACM Lite Map
Evan82's Uniforms II

Any recommendations which will make this even more awesome?



2 - My orders
============================

2nd Flotilla
Patrol BF16 for a total of 24 hours (whaaaa?) - August 1, 1939

So, I just patrol the grid for...what? The war hasn't started yet. And just for 24 hours? It takes three days to get there! Is this just to see that I'm not a complete idiot, or am I missing something in regards to the game and/or history?

Tx,

Ryan
