October 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’).
Oct Events:
6th, Naval Battle of Vella Lavella
13th, Italy declares war on Germany
