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

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
September 1944
Atlantic
Russian Convoys - Return Russian convoy RA59A (nine ships) was now off northwest Norway when "U-394" was damaged by Swordfish of 825 Squadron and sunk on the 2nd by destroyers "Keppel" and "Whitehall" and sloops "Mermaid" and "Peacock". The convoy arrived safely at Loch Ewe on the 6th. The next convoy returning from Russia, RA60 left Kola on the 28th with 30 ships, but by the time it arrived at Loch Ewe in early October had lost two merchantmen to U-boat attack. While still to the northwest of Norway on the 30th, Swordfish of 813 Squadron from escort carrier "Campania" sank "U-921".
Monthly Loss Summary
- 3 British, Allied and neutral ships of 17,000 tons in the Atlantic from all causes, 1 US destroyer in a hurricane off Bahamas
- 7 U-boats including 1 cause unknown and 1 mined off Iceland; 1 by RAF off the Azores; 1 by US Navy off Cape Verde Islands; 1 by US aircraft in South Atlantic
Europe
U-boat Inshore Campaign - With the start of the British Isles Inshore Campaign, U-boats sunk off Norway and in the Western Approaches as well as the Bay of Biscay are included in the European theatre. The same applies to the Allied and German surface warships lost.

1st - Two U-boats were sunk in the North Western Approaches in attacks on Atlantic convoys in exchange for a corvette and several merchantmen. On the 1st, off the northwest Irish coast, "U-482" attacked Caribbean/UK tanker convoy CU36 and sank "HURST CASTLE" of the British B1 group with an acoustic torpedo. Just over a week later the two U-boats were lost.
9th - Northwest of Ireland, "U-743" was sunk near UK/North America convoy ONF252 by escorting frigate "Helmsdale" and corvette "Portchester Castle". Off the south Hebrides "U-484" went down to attack by Canadian frigate "Dunver" and corvette "Hespeler" of C5 group. Later in the month, RAF aircraft sank two more in the Northern Transit Area.
