An essential element to this scenario should be that the lw can knock out Fighter controllers and radar. The RAF should not be allowed to have invulnerable radar and fighter controllers, it wouldn’t be fair for the guys flying the Ju-88s into the target area. With the new tower graphics it should be included in this event.

I don't believe the LW ever did have much success with attacking radar. The Stuka was the most accurate of all thier bombers; best suited to pin point jabo; but as Wotan points out; they were a suicidal ride by the time the BoB developed in full blood.

What rule set/conditions would you propose?

A radar tower covers say 50 miles.  if it is destroyed then the radar in that 50 miles goes out.  Space each station 50 miles over the coast or something.

The RAF had 150 mile radar coverage from the English coast into France.

Their radar did not cover over Britain itself. For that the RAF relied on reports grom ground observers.

Radar was able to be killed in the 1st AH BoB but it wasnt a victory condition (IIRC) and was repaired between frames. I had jabo 110s punch holes in the radar screen to allow room for ju88s to slip in. Base warning range was long so their were only  temporary narrow gaps.

Dont get off track, the lw objective in the BoB was to destroy the RAF, not just get bombers to and fro....

Channel shipping attacks, raids on the radar, airfield raids and and the general bombing campaign were all set to draw the RAF up where they could be killed.
