It's a long way and a slow trip to the seas off Freetown in a U-boat, even if running on the surface. But orders are orders, these being for my latest patrol with the Doenitz Elite Flotilla http://www.donitzeliteflotilla.com/HTML/index.html

Viktor Schuetze was a real-life CO of 2.U-Flotille in Lorient where the real U-105 was based, and is role-played for my patrol by DEF staff. We'll communicate by simulated radio traffic during the patrol. Adds a whole new dimension.

Anyhow, the long trip to Freetown is longer still, if you meet interesting people on the way.

Interesting people like these...

...and having managed to excuse myself from the previous lot, these...

Hey Lima!

Back in the better days Murphy explained to me that the forum software that he installed here does not use correct BBCode standard, which is why some codes do not function here. One example would be that this forum software ignores the "center" BBCode tag. And there are more...

This maybe works as you wanted as close as you can get here.

Thanks Blitz, and yes it looks ok to me, on my PC and on iPhone at any rate! And I like how the linked attachments display full-width here on SimHQ.

Anyhow my Flotille Chef has thankfully sent me new orders greatly expanding my original small patrol area, so I should have a better chance of finding fresh prey!

This sort of contact with a human, role-played, historical HQ brings a whole new dimension to SH3 career patrols, available via registering at DEF: http://www.donitzeliteflotilla.com/forum/index.php?topic=74.0
