I'm another Newbie, so I hope I've bobbed up in the right place. I loaded SH4 "Gold" from a retail disc onto Windows 8 (been playing SH4 basic game before that, no probs) but NOW... everything's there ok EXCEPT my German War Patrols and Single Missions; all US stuff is present, and I can set off on a glorious U-Boat Campaign (lovely U-Boat) but when I click on "Switch Sides" in missions: Bubkiss! (Is this the correct expression?)

The disc came all the way from CANADA, incidentally. Could this be the reason?

There are various spellings, but the most common is "bupkis", which seems to be Yiddish for "goat feces".
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bupkis

I don't have SH4 installed currently, but if I'm remembering correctly the U-Boat add-on doesn't come with any single missions, which is why you aren't seeing any. There are some available, but I can't seem to remember where. Sorry.

Thanks, Steve: EXCELLENT! I often think I ought to learn Yiddish. And I guess that puts my question about U-Boat missions to bed too. Thanks again...

You're spot-on, Steve: I just found a review which confirms there were no German War Patrols or Single Missions in the expansion. No-one can think why, except that the developers planned such but never got a round tuit...
