Invasion of Norway!

gord96 · 04-02-07, 03:06 PM

GSX is so cool. On my sixth patrol in early April 1940 and I am sent to a strange grid to patrol. No where near Britain. Actually it is just south of Norway. As I sail there I notice 2 or 3 convoys and 2 task forces are also on route to Norway. I look up the Invasion of Norway and see that it started on April 9th, but the first German ships got there April 7th. I look at the date and it is April 6th! Very cool. I am part of the invasion.

Hey quick question. Is there any nice hunting spots around Norway. I will be done my assigned patril grid and still have a full load of fish. I would rather not have to sail all the way over the Britain if there is some nice targets around here.
