Subsim Enigma Flotilla?

We're a group of sub simmers who use GWX 3 and Sh3 Commander along with a computerized enigma machine to send messages back and forth from subs to a "BdU" (German Navy Command) that is 'simulated' by players like yourself (I happen to be the Chief of Operations persay) The BdU directs subs to patrols and such and keeps track of the tonnages sunk so awards can be handed out and more. Essentially, we orchestrate a living breathing Command structure in a sense. If you want to check it out drop by and post something we're always recruiting!

Happy Hunting

How active is the group now? Last time I peeked in there didn't seem to be much activity, do you guys utilize another board outside of subsim that you post most of messages to?

AFAIK were active(actually playing Sh3) just no one is filing reports much anymore save a few of us,when we started this last campaign we had quite a few join. Then we had quite a few playing and such for quite a while and then it just dropped off. No one reported in much, except, like i said, a few.

On top of that, Ken is on sick leave and we just kind of re structured the command system, so I think we might just start fresh and kick off a new campaign. We could use some more recruits if you'd like to join on in Tessa

It sounds like it would be fun, I tried looking in the enigma space and couldn't really find a basic faq or descriptive thread. Can you point me to the best place/thread? Currently I've got a fairly generous amount of free time; in my current career I'm in a lull waiting to be able to transfer to the 23rd flotilla which opens up in 3 or so months. Was thinking of maybe taking another extended patrol (for a VII) to Capetown now that there's the supply boat down there to help soak up the time.

Far as Enigma is concerned, can I assume that if/when you die you're able to start a new career from square 1 where you left off?

Im not sure if its exactly where you left off but you can start new careers. And post to the Devils of the Deep General Chat thread, we have to get things rolling first though, particularily new members and such. But hopefully that will be soon!

OK, with the way you loosely described things and co-ordinating attacks/events it would be a real buzz kill if you died early in the war you would have to wait for the next restart for everyone. Also say if I had an entire week free (no work, no plans, just pure free time) would I be able to continue playing after I complete my patrol or do you have people pause so that everyone is roughly playing in the same (relative) time period (like +/- 3-4 weeks)?

No you can ask for extra patrols. We have one member who is on his sixth patrol whereas Im only on my second because of time constraints lately. What all else would you like to know in detail?? I can describe more if you want all you gotta do is ask

And you can start a new career where you left off (Time wise) it would be a new commander and boat though.
