After this weeks running of Mister Fork's Dieppe, we roll into...
Operation Sealion (Unternehmen Seelöwe)As early as November, 1939, Hitler was contemplating suppression of England and removing her as a threat to his plans for domination of Europe. Over the next year, studies were undertaken for landing troops on English beaches and if necessary, occupying the whole country.

For our purposes, we'll ignore the failure of the Luftwaffe to win the Battle of Britton in the late summer of 1940; and the devastating losses to the Kriegsmarine in the successful conquest of Norway in April of that same year. Additionally, the operation depended upon rendering defenseless, the British coastal installations which are non-existent in the current terrain.
In this setup, the Axis have captured the English ports of Folkestone P16 and Dover P14, and spread inland capturing three more bases, V13, A15 and A17.
The British need to throw the Hun out of England, and Germany needs to capture London. Of course, if things become too out of balance, a Staffer will reset the bases and up troop capture requirements, but short of that, base capture is on to give players something to do when the arena has low numbers.
