August 1????

Why does GWX 3 start the campaign so early? I read the manual and it states that this is so u-boats can reach their patrol areas in time for the start of the war. It only takes a couple of days to reach even the farthest assigned patrol grids. I was so bored that I went in to Plymouth port to have a look see and took on damage due to shallow water. Any explanations?

You start a month early so you can run a patrol and get an extra qualification. You can also sightsee and all that.

If you want to start in September, you can use SH3 Commander to pick your starting month.

Takes more than a couple of days to get to the Atlantic from Kiel
Most boats left port around the 19th Aug 39
Some 24th and 25th

The GWX days in port is set to 20
Wanna leave on the 24th ?
Run a 4 day shakedown and then dock

Thanks. I was really confused as to why a whole month was given. I just started over with Sh3 Commander and started on Sept. 1. Wonderful game, will never get tired of it. Where are all the convoys at? Sept23 and no convoy updates yet. Had 1 task force, though.

Convoys are a bit less common in GWX, and you might just be patrolling in a bad area.

I always thought that they did it just for the shakedown... I mean we are talking about the greatest sim ever.
