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
January 1945
Atlantic
Monthly Loss Summary
- 5 British, Allied and neutral ships of 29,000 tons in the Atlantic from all causes
- 1 U-boat by USN in mid-Atlantic
Europe
British Isles Inshore Campaign - As the campaign continued, there were losses on both sides: 15th/16th - Off the Clyde, Scotland on the 15th, "U-482" torpedoed a merchantman and badly damaged escort carrier "THANE" (not repaired and laid up) ferrying aircraft from Northern Ireland. After a long hunt the U-boat was sunk next day by frigate "Loch Craggie" and sloops "Amethyst", "Hart", "Peacock" and "Starling" of the 22nd EG. 21st - After torpedoing a merchant ship from a Thames/ Bristol Channel convoy, "U-1199" was sunk close to Lands End by escorting destroyer "lcarus" and corvette "Mignonette". 26th - "U-1172" severely damaged frigate "MANNERS" (constructive total loss) off the Isle of Man and was sunk in the counter-attack by sister ships "Aylmer", "Bentinck" and "Calder" of the 4th and 5th EGs. 27th - Further south in St George's Channel, and after attacking Halifax/UK convoy HX322, "U-1051" was sunk by frigates "Bligh", "Keats" and "Tyler" of the 5th EG. One U-boat was lost in UK waters, possibly mined off the Moray Firth, and others were destroyed and damaged in air-raids on Germany.
Merchant Shipping War - E-boats and small battle units continued operating out of Holland against Allied shipping in the North Sea and English Channel, and were now joined by Seehunde midget submarines. The new craft enjoyed some success, but mines remained the biggest problem for the Allies at sea.
Monthly Loss Summary
12 British, Allied and neutral ships of 47,000 tons in UK waters.
