Thanks Shifty, but Valentine's was last month. Why the compliments, are too much.
Actually, now that you mentioned it. I do have Operation Sea Lion, that I was hoping that you would help me present. It was tentatively placed on the calendar as a new setup. I propose that it run as a film contest challenge, for one evening instead. I figure if it passes by you, it passes the iron man test for historical content. This is important because Operation Sea Lion was a plan that Germany never put into play because of the stiff resistance during the Battle of Britain. This makes this endeavor a "what if" scenario.
Details on Operation Sea Lion plans:
BOB Operation Sealion
From Operation Sealion wiki:
Operation Sea Lion (German: Unternehmen Seelöwe) was Germany's plan to invade the United Kingdom during World War II, beginning in 1940. To have had any chance of success, however, the operation would have required air and naval supremacy over the English Channel. With the German defeat in the Battle of Britain, Sea Lion was postponed indefinitely on 17 September 1940 and never carried out.[2]
Hitler's directive set four pre-conditions for the invasion to occur:[6]
* The RAF was to be "beaten down in its morale and in fact, that it can no longer display any appreciable aggressive force in opposition to the German crossing".
* The English Channel was to be swept of British mines at the crossing points, and the Straits of Dover must be blocked at both ends by German mines.
* The coastal zone between occupied France and England must be dominated by heavy artillery.
* The Royal Navy must be sufficiently engaged in the North Sea and the Mediterranean so that it could not intervene in the crossing. British home squadrons must be damaged or destroyed by air and torpedo attacks.

Is this what I think it is? How long has that submarine been sitting there, and I am just noticing it? Well, anyhow as a special one night frame for the upcoming BOB terrain, I would like to see it targeted by torpedo only.
It can't be bombed or strafed down, or else no points will be awarded.
Any ships docked at the port destroyed by torpedoes will count but the main target will be these and reflected in points allocated to it. This does two things:
- Ju88s become a slow and low target and will need plenty of fighter escort cover.
- The challenge of torpedo strikes under fire on a small but stationary target should provide several minutes of fun.
There are multiple ports so the possibility of earning multiple points for Axis will be the goal of this frame. I want to look further into the Allies frame, either a night time attack on Ammo strats or something new (help me out with suggestions please).
< disclaimer, this is not the award for film contest winner, however it did help in the presentation.
Film contestants will participate in the event and present their completed films to be judged by the following criteria.- Film that best presents the action and theme of the event
- Film that best presents the ambiance of the Axis Versus Allies Arena
- Film that is most pure in content
- Film that is most entertaining
