GWX 3 Gold...no war?

Capt_Confoozed · 06-12-09, 10:07 PM

Ah, thanks so much everyone!! I have to admit that bingeing on my Director's Cut copy of "Das Boot" this past week (can you believe it took me months to track down a copy in 5 different video stores??) has given me a mad hankering to go through a full campaign, which I've never done before.

I think I've watched that movie 7 times, start to finish, since I bought it last Friday.

Again, thanks so much for the help!

What date did you start the 2nd patrol?

I agree with Pisces in that you need to supply some dates here.

WWII started 09/01/39 but I don't think Germany started fighting with GB & France until 09/03/39. If you are in these periods, then those two countries should turn red.

Also, do you have someine in the radio room. Then you would recieve messages talking about the sequence of events that gets the war moving. If not, you'll never receive the order to start attacking.

I took my radio man out of the room since all the radio messages got annoying after awhile, might you have done the same thing?

Yes, or he was only one day in port, or some other (too) short duration by SH3Commander.

While waiting for the war to start, if you happen to see the SS Athenia... let her go!! You will save yourself a lot of grief later.

Nobody seems to have mentioned the salient point here, which is that GWX3 starts you the first day of August (as the new Capt mentioned in his first post). The war doesn't start for a full month after that. This lets you simulate being on station before the war begins (which someone did mention, but not why).

Now you need to order the 5-hour "Uncut" version, which is incomparably better.

Oh, and WELCOME ABOARD!
