Meh lucky you. I did this on a career with 12 patrols (started in '42 no less!) not even a week ago.

Heh, it happens.

That was very bad that happened to you.
I am sorry to hear it.

It's a learning curve, very similar to learning that I MUST SAVE OFTEN during the game least I suddenly and unexpectedly die.

I now routinely save (or try to remember to do so):

1) during every long-distance transit (about every 1000 nm)

2) after reaching my assigned objective or long-distance destination

3) after each sinking (unless in convoy)

4) after each convoy encounter


Being forced to repeat a patrol (or a career ) due solely to my own carelessness and/or stupidity has a way of motivating me to pay more attention to the mechanics of the game itself rather than just concentrating on the tactics of my current patrol.

I think we've all been here at least once, I remember my first career, starting in 1939 i went through 2 years of a several patrol rampage, it was great. Then one day i was looking at all the saves i made in the past and decided that I didn't need all those old saves cluttering up the menu. I deleted the first one and....well, the rest is history.
