July 1943 Patrol Status
We are now operating under “The Hunted” rules.
NOTE: The 15th Flotilla is currently based out of St. Nazaire, France. Any new Boats entering the game, will begin their patrol in Wilhelmshaven but end their patrol in St. Nazaire (Last patrol box will be ‘Bay of Biscay’). Once a Boat is in St. Nazaire, future patrols will begin and end there (First and last patrol box will be ‘Bay of Biscay’).
Jul Events:
5th, Battle of Kursk begins
9th, US/British airborne invasion of Sicily
12-13th, Battle of Kolombangara
25th, Mussolini arrested
New Weapons: While we will switch from “The Hunters’ rules to ‘The Hunted’ rules with patrols beginning July 1943, some systems become available before then. Here are the projected systems/timelines (rules references are to ‘The Hunted’):
BOLD Decoys(Rule 9.6.7) – Now Available
FAT pattern running torpedoes (Rule 9.2.4) – Now Available
Falke homing torpedoes(Rule 9.2.5) – Now Available
Deck Gun removal (Rule 10.11.8) - any boat sent to Refit after June 1943 will have its Deck Gun removed. Those Boats already in Refit prior to June 1943 will be modified upon their next time in Refit.
Zaunkonig homing torpedoes(Rule 9.2.5) – August 1943
Balkon-Gerat improved hydrophones(Rule 10.11.9) – starting January 1944
