Do you meander over that way smashing up targets of opportunity, but leaving torps for your actual patrol grid? Or do you just go hunting?

I've re-installed the renown awards for going to my square and patrolling. I patrol it 7-10 game days (they didn't send a sub 3000 km for a day). After than, I roll dice to decide if I am ordered home directly, ordered home but with discretion over timing and route, or allowed to patrol and then dock at the nearest supply ship.

Thus, if assigned one of the Southern Approaches grids, I might go home directly, over the top of Britain, or I might get to break the trip home with some days on the Northern Approaches, or I might get to head down to west of Gibraltar before fetching up at Thalia or Corrientes.

But I "script" the options from the start of the patrol, and let the dice decide it.

Just wait until they assign you to cg13. Iirc, it is entirely landlocked in northern spain. The only water there comes from the tap in your kitchen.

Has anyone else been told to go patrol central Texas before?
