tips for a 1x patrol?

[GoldenRivet]

my wife would have my skin if i locked myself in this office for 2 weeks :rotfl:

and i would probably speak fluent german by the end of the ordeal and would not be able to go into public places without wearing a helmet and being teathered to something heavy.

example:

Everytime the phone rings, yell "Alarm!!!", tip the dinner table over and dive through the door.


Never go out in the sun again for that pasty, white look.

Keep us posted though if and when you do it. It might be interesting.


Might be interesting to hear your wife's thoughts as well.

Alot of folk interested in you doing this, some have tried it others not. I would like if you do start it updateds on how your going both in the game and your thoughts etc on the 1x experiance.

will do; i think ill start a "UBoat log / 1x patrol" type of thread on the date of my departure from sanity.

the thread will include a complete crew list, orders, screen shot of the proposed patrol route, and daily posts about radio messages, contacts etc.

Im planning on doing a Type VIIC patrol out of one of the french bases. I will have about 14-16 days of continuous free time on my hands if it takes a little longer thats fine too. but in my experience those patrols last approximately 2 weeks.

I also have a dual monitor setup, and i have absolutely no problem running the forum on one screen (e mail, etc too) and SH3 on the other screen.

should be delightfully maddening.

Looking forward to this....

OR.... even better

ill post the crew list, orders and proposed route

then;

ill treat you all like BdU.

heres what i mean.

You will all be informed of contacts, sightings, sinkings etc. and i will check in at least once per day with a mandatory situation report post just as was required in real life.

but if i get sunk... you will just stop hearing from me in that thread and it will be up to you to speculate on what happened out there

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh Now that sounds like a good idea!

That's great Rivet, that should be a good read

But an 'informal' log would be nice too, like your diary

I should imagine any future speculation would have great entertainment value
