Hi Luker, I am enjoying you RSRDC mod. in both RFB 2.0 and TMO 1.9. I read in you notes that the modified campaign layers in the game do not start until early 1942. So what I found in 1941 may not apply.

I started a campaign on Dec.8, 1941 from Manila in a Sargo (Sailfish) class boat. First assignment was to Patrol Indochina sea routes off the coast of Indochina for 150NM radius. The area includeed Cam Ranh Bay. Looking at your convoy documents, Cam Ranh Bay was a hot bed for activity in December 1941 in preperation for the invasion of Malaya. Proceeded to Cam Ranh Bay arriving about 2100 on 12 Dec. Sighted a large convoy of 16 merchants and 6 escorts arriving from the south headed for CamRanh Bay. I managed to sink one murchant. I waited outside of the bay for a convoy to leave at 0830 on the 13th by your documents. No convoy left but a task force of 2 heavy crusiers and 2 BB with escorts came from the north about 1300. I sank one heavy crusier and the Task force went south.

I received a msg from TF3 N2 that a convoy may be at 110E 7 30N on 14 Dec.. Traveled south to 110E 7 30N at full speed. The task force of 2BB and one heavy cruiser arrived around 0800 on the 14th. sank a Konga BB that day. So SubComPac instructed me to return to my initial assignment.

I traveled back north to Cam Ranh Bay by 1000 on the 16th. A small convoy was returning from the south with merchants, troop carriers and one light crusier. It had one subchaser escort. Sank a merchant.

It appears to me in Dec.1941 the game has ships arriving at Cam Ranh Bay and none leaving. I should have seen a large convoy leaving Cam Ranh Bay by 1300 on 13 Dec. I am continuing on with the campaign. Thanks for your hard work. I sure wish we had a map that had the ports on it that are described in your documents. One more thing I did not read all of the readme files you provided.
