Lorient falls...BDU gives not further instructions...

gabeeg · 03-19-07, 07:49 PM

I am looking for some advice. I just got notice via a radio message from BDU stating that Lorient is no longer available for operations. I am currently about half-way home from my patrol of the US/Canadian Eastern Seaboard. Previously in other careers I was instructed that the base had changed and was told a new base to go to...so far I have heard nothing from BDU on an alternate base. I projected my fuel based on returning to Lorient, so I am a little concerned and hope BDU will respond soon with a new return base. Any of you ever been in this situation, any ideas on where I should be headed? I am hoping I will be sent to one of the couple remaining French bases and not up north... I don't want to loose my renown/promotions, etc. by picking the wrong base. TIA

Hmmmm. Someone in the last few days posted a thread about getting beat up pretty bad coming back to France after the bases fell.

Ah, here it is:

If your playing GWX your new base is "Trondheim" otherwise head for Bergan.If Lorient is still blue on the map and you dock there you will have to shoot it out next time your going on Patrol.
