And, of course, the Hong Cong houses of ill repute

The further I get into the war, Argentinian cuisine sounds better and better.

My first career ended in 1943. Night time, surface cruising somewhere in CG, surprised by a plane.

I'm only playing my second career now. Still 1940. I dread 1943.

I'm running a couple of careers in 1943 right now. Airplanes have been a nuisance but not horrible-yet.
It is attacking convoys that get me. I cringe everytime I get a convoy report or spot one now. I say a quick prayer and move in without too much confidence(I put on a confident face to my crew though

).
I've lost a couple boats attacking convoys in 1943 to hedgehog equipped escorts-<shudder>.

Back in 1940, I couldn't wait to find a convoy, and it took a while before I saw my first. Now in 1943, I'm happy finding singles.

So far, all my careers have ended in '43.
And I didn't want to start all over again in '39, so this time I made kind of a realistic career for myself; I'm in command of U-130, with the correct captain's name, picture, emblems and everything, and I'm going on the same patrol routes as the real U-130. (It was part of operation Drumbeat, and that's now coming up in my game

)

However, the real one sunk in..... you guessed it: '43. So I hope the ending of my career will not be so realistic. Fingers crossed...

A very nice idea, I think I might try that as well. Let's hope you change history in 1943, though!

A lot of truth in that. Funny how times change.
