List of GWX 2.1 Scripted Events

[Commander Gizmo]

Hey guys, I'm feeling a bit thick today. I wanted to see if there were any scripted events comming up in my career, but the GWX manual made my head spin after 20 minutes of stairing at the list it has. Does anyone have a more consise list of events with dates and locations at which they occur? Thanks!

Google for it!

Everything that has to with naval operations during World War II is scripted into GWX.
Well, not in some parts of the world, events are not wholly depicted into GWX: try running the Battle of Leyte Gulf or Surigao Strait in your PC!

But the whole u-boat experience would come into its own in the Indian and Atlantic Oceans!

Thanks for getting me such great info so quickly GoldenRivet! I think I'll see how fast I die in Norway come March.

you can intercept some good task forces in the north sea between Lerwick and Northern Norway if you play your cards right.

Just hang out off the coast of Norway, contact reports will flow like wine.

I'll add that the Dunkirk evacuation is mostly unprotected by sea (if i remember correctly) so its a buffet if you can time it right

The GWX manual is a great history lesson and will give you advance warning of scripted historical events.
There are also a few mods that will give you a couple of days notice of these events, both through radio messages and through the SH3 Commander loading screens. If you're close enough to them, you can change your course and get involved in the fun.

More info is on the thread at the end of my signature block.
