Description

The following description was taken from Here

Britain and France declared war to Germany following their invasion of Poland. The playerâ€™s long term goal is to try and cut off Britainâ€™s supplies forcing her out of the war. Great Britain possesses one of the largest naval fleet and Germany is no match for her. This will make the U-boats Germanyâ€™s main offensive weapon against the British.

Being an island, the British are highly depended on imported goods taken from their colonies to the mainland. Attacking these ships would ultimately diminish their ability to wage war and even the will of the people to fight. Also, they have a system of coastal convoys routing supplies all over the country where they are needed. This means there is shipping to be sunk in coastal areas. Few in numbers, but deadly against British convoys, the German surface fleet operates in Atlantic too. In order to reach this area, they have to go across England, through Denmark Strait or between Faeroe and Iceland. The British know this and have created dedicated patrols through these areas. The U-boats can help the surface fleet by engaging the patrols or acting as spotters for the German â€śbig gunsâ€ť. Later on, Germany will invade Norway to secure the vital supply line of ore coming from Sweden. The Allies will try strike back and force their way into Norway. Again U-boat -will act in the first line providing early warning and assistance to the invasion fleet against the British retaliation.
