Sept 1939

I'm on my first patrol and have sunk a merchant with a British flag in the Welsh port of Merthyr. It has been recorded as a 'neutral' kill. Is that right? Am I not authorised to sink British merchants at this time?

Cheers

Hi mate! Have you recieved any enigma's telling you to engage british ships? It usually comes a radio message telling you the progress in the beginning of the war, then all british ports turn red, and its off to go huntin'!

I thought I had received the radio report OK'ing British ships but not entirely sure. However, the British ports are all labelled in red.

Did you somehow get out there and sink him before Sep. 3rd at 1330 hours?

I'm not sure what date it is but it must be well after 3 Sept, I've been at sea for days (a week or more) and I think the first patrol starts on 1 Sept (?). Is there any way to tell what current game date is?

Place your cursor over the clock in the bottom left of your SHIII screen, then the date pops up!

Yep - it's 18 Sept and the ship I sank was flying the british merchant navy red ensign.
