Ours not to reason why??

It's May, '43, and I'm on duty in the Mediterranean. I've just completed my mission of patrolling grid CJ22 for 24 hrs. This grid is at the northern end of the Adriatic Sea, to the east of Venice.

I can't figure out the rationale for this mission, since Italy is still in the war on Germany's side. The only ships I encountered in the Adriatic going to and from CJ22 were friendlies. Maybe I was supposed to give my crew some R&R in Venice as a morale booster.

But seriously, is the assignment of a patrol grids purely random in SH3 (v1.4)? If not, what algorithm (if that's the correct term) is used to assign missions?

I think the patrol grids are random within the actual area of patrol of the flotilla. That's why some times you get stupid orders. If you want to edit your patrol grids you can use SH3Cmd.

What version of SH3 are you playing ?
Are you using any major mod ?
There is no wighting on patrol grid assignments whichever you use, but there is a definite difference in the traffic you'll encounter

You were supposed to pull into Venice for some R & R............
