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. (Surface running) (-1 drm if an aircraft encounter occurs) Also, all U-Boats now have been fitted with a SCHNORCHEL. (below surface running) (-2 drm if an aircraft encounter occurs) They cannot be used together
U-Boat Loads
Type VII: Forward: 6 x G7e FaT, 4 x G7a FaT, 2 x G7es "zaunkönig" Aft: 2 x G7e FaT
Type IX boats: 10 x G7a FaT, 10 x G7e FaT, 2 x G7es "zaunkönig"
Type IX D-2: 10 x G7a FaT, 10 x G7e FaT, 4 x G7es "zaunkönig"
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
December 1944
Atlantic
Russian Convoys - Return Russian convoy RA62 (28 ships) prepared to leave Kola Inlet on the 10th with the escort of JW62. Beforehand on the 9th, Royal Navy and Russian warships drove off the waiting U-boats, and corvette "Bamborough Castle" serving with the 8th and 20th EGs sank "U-387". As the convoy passed Jan Mayen Island on the 13th, "U-365" was sent to the bottom by Swordfish of 813 Squadron flying from escort carrier "Campania". All merchantmen reach Loch Ewe on the 19th.
27th - "U-877" encountered Halifax/UK convoy HX327 to the northwest of the Azores and was sunk by Canadian corvette "St Thomas" of the C3 group.
Monthly Loss Summary
- 1 merchant ship of 5,000 tons in the Atlantic
- 3 German U-boats
Europe
British Isles Inshore Campaign - The inshore campaign by U-boats gained some successes including two frigates, but four were lost: 6th - Frigate "BULLEN" of the 19th EG was sunk off the north coast of Scotland by an acoustic torpedo from "U-775". On the same day in the same area, frigates "Goodall" and "Loch lnsh" also with 19th EG, accounted for "U-297". 17th - Attacking a convoy off the south coast of Ireland, "U-400" was sunk by escorting frigate "Nyasaland". 18th - "U-1209" ran aground near Lands End at the far tip of SW England and was wrecked. 26th - Frigate "CAPEL" of the 1st EG on patrol off Cherbourg was lost to "U-486". 30th - Allied aircraft now had few successes against the schnorkel-equipped U-boats. An exception was "U-772" lost off Portland Bill to a RCAF Leigh Light Wellington of No 407 Squadron. In Norwegian waters one U-boat was lost in a RAF raid and another by collision off the Lofoten Islands.
