ATA Tracker & Order of Play §8–10

Set the current Allied Technological Advantage index; the correct Placement and Attack orders update automatically.

Current ATA index

The ATA never drops. It rises on Ultra / HF-DF / ASW / Radar results (see §10). If Dönitz is in the Sub Pens box, "+" results are no effect.

Allotment & Placement order (§8)

Attack & ASW order (§9)

Area Tonnage-Limit Calculator §9.1.2

Max tonnage sinkable in an area this turn = 100,000 + 10,000 per Escort and Air factor present. Convoy Tonnage ("C") is exempt.

Escort factors in area

Air factors in area

Convoy markers in area (inherent Escort)

Tonnage sunk so far

Each Convoy marker counts as one Escort factor for both ASW and this limit. A "C" result may push tonnage over the limit.

Campaign Tally Sheet §14

Enter results each month. Totals, averages and victory checks update live.

Month	Tonnage Sunk	Ships Sunk	U-Boats Operational	U-Boats Sunk	Convoy Markers*

*Convoy markers on the board at the end of that turn — used for the victory-tonnage threshold and the auto-loss check (4 markers = Allies win).

Victory Check §4

German win requires all three: preserve the fleet (never lose ½+ of a turn's starting U-Boats in one turn), prevent 4 Convoy markers, and sink 600,000+ tons for three consecutive turns and average ≥400k (0 convoys) / ≥450k (1) / ≥500k (2+ convoys on board at game end).
