Corvette Command Campaign Promotions

I played the last of three convoy escort missions for my Corvette Command campaign the other day but haven't had time to write an after action report yet. I'll do that tomorrow, as it was a fairly eventful crossing with lots of action including another wolfpack attack which inflicted some significant losses, although not enough to tip the scales in the Kriegsmarine's favour just yet. 

The end of three convoys did, however, mean that my Lookout, RADAR, ASDIC, AA gun, depth charge and engineering teams got to roll for a skills upgrade, as they had all been in action and had achieved some positive results. The crew of HMCS Windflower have now boosted all of their skill levels by +1  apart from the AA gunners who are stuck on a 2, perhaps down to their dodgy maintenance of the pom pom, and the 4'' gun crew who failed to hit anything and are still on a 1. 

Incidentally, the depth charge team sank a U-Boat in the first game, so got to roll for a skills upgrade too as it was a confirmed sinking. The CO has been awarded a DSC for closing to engage the enemy on several occasions, sinking an enemy submarine and demonstrating a high level of aggression in command of HMCS Windflower, not to mention maintaining a happy ship with an efficient, well trained crew. Hip Hip Hooray!

The enemy will now have to deal with a level 3 RADAR operator for starters, with much of the ship's complement on a solid level 2, so I'm looking forward to hunting down some more U-Boats! The next convoy will be leaving Liverpool in a few days time, after the ship has re-fuelled, re-armed and re-provisioned, with the campaign now half way through February 1942, although I have yet to roll up the exact composition or route that it will take. I'm try to get a game in tomorrow, if I can find the time?
