Without any early war fighters, no point to it. {Bf-109E-1}

D.520 and E-1 would be interesting additions.

The Morane-Saulnier M.S.406 (over 1,000 in service) would represent France in a "Phony War" event better than the Dewoitine D.520 (only 36 in service on 10 May 1940).

No, the RAF was planning on going to 20mm cannons since the mid/late '30s.  They were actually running behind due to problems getting the Hispano to be reliable enough.
I don't think you can do a Battle of Britain that early.  Sure, you can do Luftwaffe vs RAF, but then they are going to sit and twiddle their thumbs waiting for the Channel to be calm enough for invasion barges to be able to cross it.

Channel would never been calm enough for invasion barges to have crossed once the home fleet had started charging up and down the channel at full chat :banana:

E-1 could be used in "Phony War" special events on the Western Front during 1939 and 1940.

E-7 would be a good addition for Mediterranean/Africa special events in the 1940-41 timeframe.


Just completely forgot about Finland and the Baltic? Oh yea, we cant run those setups as events, I forgot. My apologies.

I don't understand, Perdweeb.  What do you mean "we cant run those setups as events"?
