Good evening Gentleman, I understand that there will be a party held in the honor of the brave crews. The Party in all of its wisdom has decided to honor our small group..
Special Instructions: ALL NOW USING HUNTED RULES AND CHARTS and all boats have had their deck gun removed
U-219 Nachtdieb (XB) - Keyboy
Will always be on a replenishment patrol and will be on minelaying duties as well, unless patrol is in the Atlantic.
Everyone is now in Bergen, so normal transit boxes are used. Gentlemen, I won't take up much of your time, as I know that you are preparing to get underway. Please be aware that all of the steam and electric torpedoes have been upgraded (All types of torpedo have a dud rate of 1 on D6).
All U-boats have three BOLD decoys they can use on patrol (BOLD decoy. German U-boats may attempt to decoy the Allied ASW forces by releasing a BOLD canister. Only one BOLD canister may be used per encounter, however, it may be combined with exceeding test depth. The decision to use BOLD occurs before the escort detection roll is made. It gives a temporary -1 to the detection roll. If using the optional rule "Variable Escort Quality" BOLD does NOT work against Veteran or Elite Escorts. The decision to use it occurs before Escort Quality is rolled.)
All U-Boats now have a NAXOS radar system installed. (-1 drm if an aircraft encounter occurs)
U-Boat Loads
Type VII: Forward: 6 x G7e FaT, 4 x G7a FaT, 2 x G7es "zaunkönig " Aft: 2 x G7e FaT

Type XB: 3 x G7e FaT, 2 x G7es "zaunkönig "
From this standard load, you may go up or down in the mix of types by 4 torpedoes of your choosing, but may not take extra "Falke" torpedoes due to limited availability.
Historic Notes
April 1944
Atlantic
Russian Convoys - Three days after 2nd EG sank "U-961" off Iceland, Russia-bound JW58 was to the northwest of Norway and the attacking U-boats lost three of their number. On the 1st an Avenger of 846 Squadron from escort carrier "Tracker" damaged "U-355" with rockets and destroyer "Beagle" completed the job. Next day - the 2nd - destroyer "Keppel" sank "U-360" with her ahead-throwing Hedgehog mortar. On the 3rd it was the turn of "U-288". A Swordfish, Wildcat and Avenger from "Tracker's" 846 and "Activity's" 819 Squadrons sent her to the bottom. Apart from one merchantman that was forced to return, all JW58's remaining 48 ships arrived at Kola on the 5th April.
6th - "U-302" sank two ships from Halifax/UK convoy SC156 to the northwest of the Azores before being destroyed by frigate "Swale" of the British B5 group.
8th - To the northwest of Cape Finisterre, sloops "Crane" and "Cygnet" of the 7th EG accounted for "U-962".
14th - North of the Azores "U-448" attacked escort carrier "Biter" but was detected by Canadian frigate "Swansea" of the 9th EG and sunk by her and sloop "Pelican" of the 7th.
19th - Norwegian submarine "Ula" working with the Home Fleet flotillas and on patrol off Stavanger, SW Norway sank "U-974".
Monthly Loss Summary
- 7 British, Allied and neutral ships of 48,000 tons in the Atlantic from all causes
- 16 U-boats including 2 by RAF in North Atlantic; 1 by RAF Bay of Biscay patrol; 6 by US Navy forces off America, Madeira, Cap Verde Islands and in North Atlantic.
