Sailing into Loch Ewe

Vacillator · 03-07-07, 11:57 AM

Just for fun (and a few tons) I thought I'd venture into Loch Ewe in 1940. I was going in on the surface at night hoping to avoid nets because I couldn't remember where I'd seen a harbour map (doh!). So I spotted an armed trawler and thinking 'pah only a trawler' I rather slowly tried to man the deck gun. Before I could finish, one round from the trawler was fired, hitting the deck gun area and 3 crew were dead!

Was this bad luck, or should I not have got into such a stupid position in the first place?

If the latter, some pertinent advice on how to infiltrate would be appreciated! Perhaps a harbour map would help?
