It is July, 1940, and the fate of a nation is about to be decided.
Hitler has just given the order to begin preparation for Operation Sealion -- the invasion of Britain. France has fallen, the United States has not yet joined the war, and the Soviet Union is still Germany's ally. Britain stands alone.
The first order of battle is for the Luftwaffe to pave the way by destroying the Royal Air Force and pounding British infrastructure and cities. The Luftwaffe is mighty and skilled. The RAF is outnumbered, but it has the world's most advanced radar system -- and something just as important: an indestructible will to repel the Luftwaffe, no matter what the personal cost.
The Battle of Britain scenario will pit the RAF in its Hurricane Mk I's and Spitfire Mk I's against the Luftwaffe in its Bf 109E's, Bf 110C's, Ju 87's, and Ju 88's. The Luftwaffe will work to destroy all airfields, ports, and ships in the southeast of Britain. The RAF will do whatever it can to stop them.
The fate of Britain hangs in the balance.

Sounds like a lot of fun.... but mid day Saturday kills it for me. I wish ya'll would move these things to a Sunday.

It's a bit difficult for me, as well. My Saturday afternoons belong to the lady. Sundays are more of an "off day", just for unwinding.

Sounds and looks fun. You guys put together some great scenarios! :aok
