We are now at the 69th anniversary of the most critical phase of the air campaign that arguably saved the world.
In the humble estimation of some (one?), this is also the very best and most balanced historical match that AH2 offers.

THE FIELD OF HUMAN CONFLICT
What General Weygand called the Battle of France is over.
I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin.
Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization.
Upon it depends our own British life, and the long
continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The
whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be
turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break
us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand
up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the
world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But
if we fail, then the whole world, including the United
States, including all that we have known and cared for,
will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more
sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights
of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves
to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British
Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years,
men will still say, ‘This was their finest hour.’”
Winston Churchill to the House of Commons, June 18, 1940.
