Almost as much fun as waiting for the next patch

He's leaving us hanging! Can we get an update on when to expect the next installment?

Sailor Steve · 09-20-07, 05:39 PM

Soon tm

Another newbie here, came across this story 2 weeks ago. Having great U-46 withdrawls as I got all caught up on this last Friday and seen it was still ongoing. Do we have to wait for the book to come out? I don't know if I can last any longer.

Sorry comrades, didn't mean to leave it this long before reporting back. There were things to do and places to go, you know how it is.

It's funny. You can't hear a plane's engines when they're coming up behind you, but the terrible roar as they pass overhead is deafening.

"Christ!" shouts Bruno, clutching his head. "Am I hit?"

Hals pointed down to where his Watch Officer's cap was now perched at a jaunty angle on top of the 88mm deck gun.

"The Tommies blew your hat off, even better than Michelle, Sir!"

All this happened in an instant. And it's also funny how insane laughter in a crisis sticks in your mind too.

No bombs. Came right out of the clouds and rain. If they saw us at all, they would have been as surprised as we were, and no time to react on either side.

But they have seen Max.

Even now I can see the Liberator banking and attackiing as U-213 is already dipping down, her watch scrambling for the safety of the hull, and the boat itself searching for the sanctuary of the water.

"Prepare to dive!"

"I have to get my cap Kaleun!"

"Well you know the drill, Bruno. Ten seconds then you're either in or out. Go! The rest of you get below now"

Great to see you back LS.....with the fastest 10 second dash of the 20th century

Wonderful reading... I almost can't wait to read more. Perfect for stuff for the loading times of SH3

The pig could be roasted!

Bruno has to go back to get his cap!

TarJak · 10-02-07, 08:05 AM

Nice to see more of this LS! Thanks keep up the good work!

"First Officer up to bridge!" and he came clanging up alone.

"You have to see this Christian."

Bruno is trying to retrieve his Cap which has blown further forward from the Gun and we see it now perched on the hawser line. I gave him 10 seconds, he's already had 40.

"Don't mess him about, Sir. You know how long it's taken him to get that Cap. If it went overboard, you'd feel terrible."

It's madness to stay up with airplanes in the vicinity, and I shouldn't be playing around with Bruno who is a loyal officer and crewmate of mine.

He's waving his Cap triumphantly from the fore deck.

"Get in Number Two! You, you.... we're going down!"

For all our mucking around, and it has its points in the face of danger; last down the hatch, I saw a succession of four huge white splashes. Just about where Max went to the cellar.

In all the hubub of late, I've been missing this.

Hoping for more soon.

Even as our sea boots hit the deck, and pitched forward (from experience there was always someone to catch us as we bounced off the ladder and followed the deck downwards.
Very undignified but it does the trick, and even soothes the tension with a bit of laughter to see the Kaleun and one of his seniors take a tumble and a last soaking from the conning tower.

But now, "Business Lads!"

The first of four quick explosions pass through the water ahead of us. Not ours. Max's. Maybe 200m ahead, but right out of the cloud and almost straight on him.
We're used to the shock waves of distant depth charges, but we also know what a ship or a small vessel sounds like when it breaks up under water..

.."Ruhe, Menschen...."

I have this habit of pinching one earphone from Hans's set when he's busy, and this time he doesn't scold his Kaleun...a distant boom..."Two more", whispers Hans as much to himself as to me. The next seemed to detonate deeper, "Random depth pattern, Kaleun, but they were right on top of her". And then uncharacteristically for such a taciturn man: "Come on Max! One more.....!"

We all tensed to hear the last one go off. Max would have sheared away and gone deeper, I'm sure, but that damned plane happened on both of us out of the blue.

Come on Max......
