Say it ain't so ...

Just got orders to relinquish my command to my exec and report to Kiel to assume training young squids ... say it ain't so!

Its pretty much the same fate really. Dodging Depth Charges and Hedgehogs from DDs in the Atlantic or dodging 1000lb bombs from bombers at the naval yard... SSDD. At least while commanding a boat you can strike back and sink some ships!

Just curious what year is it in your campaign?

He has to be using Commander. That's the only source that has a "Realistic career length" option.

Yes, for sure... my first DID captain with that option enabled got transfered to BdU after 10 patrols.

Got the same orders Saturday PM! After the 9th patrol, late 1940 and over 100K. (I turned it off this time!)
