Is it right that ships, once they have lost contact with a force never seem to regain contact? I've had my flagship and all other ships withing several miles, (the flagship was under a mile) on a bright sunny day, and the ship still doesn't regain contact. I've even had a squadron of DD's in a line ahead, and the ship in the middle of the line has lost contact. I'm thinking that the event is a little to liberal with how often it happens, especially seeing as once the contact is lost, it never gets regained.
Another question. Why does a scuttled TR not count toward the "sink a TR" mission. Surely a sunk TR is a sunk TR, whether to guns and torpedoes or to a scuttling?
Edit: and now it has made a lair of me. The latest ship just rejoined.
Cheers

As you saw, it generally requires daylight before the wanderers return to the flag. Mist and fog even in day time can interfere with or prevent the process and even trigger more lost contacts.
Most "Sink TR" objectives are geographically restricted and only those ships mined, scuttled, torpedoed or sunk by gunfire within 100 nm or so of the point shown on the map count towards firing the objective. They always count for VP however.

Thanks for the reply. I've had S&I:GWAS for some time, but have just bought the campaign and SAI:RJW, so it's like learning a whole new aspect to the game.
