Title: Dunkirk setup
Post by: najdorf on October 10, 2003, 08:36:30 AM

I've seen plenty of BoB setups, but never a Dunkirk setup.  If you took the map Jester did recently and altered it to reflect 4 or 5 ports on the French coast and placed the allied bases in England and the German bases in Belgium, Holland and Germany equidistant from the ports it would be historically representative of the era.

The idea is for the axis to try and capture the ports preventing allied escape.  Plane Set:

Allies

Hurri I
Spit I
M3
M16
M8

Axis

Bf109E4
Bf110C4(restricted to rear fields)
Ju87
M3
Panzer IV

This might work better as a scenario, but I wouldn't mind given it a try in the CT even though I'm a PAC fan.

add panzers to "french"  they did have med/hvy tanks...  or take out the pzrs (and add m8) from germany to better present the mobil war this really was.

"Somthing new"...my interest is really piqued over this setup...could it be something that a new exciting group has come up with?

The suspense is killing me. ;)

No Shane we already have that occurrence on a daily basis in the MA. We don't need it at all in the CT. Just wait for the setup Brady mentions. I hope it will get some people interested in the CT for a little while.

I was just thinking of a Battle of France setup and what aircraft I would want added for it.

My conclusions were that the following would be great and would enable a good Battle of France setup coupled with the Hurricane Mk I, Bf109E-4, Bf110C-4b and Ju88A-4 we already have:

Dewoitine D.520S
Curtis Hawk 73A-1
Potez 633
Heinkel He111H-16
Junkers Ju87B-2
