On the first look the situation looked really bad for my western forces.
But step by step i realized that my forces in England are still in good shape and the worst
happened was the loss of Birmingham.
First thing i did was to look for the most dangerous german units and if they are in range of own
fighter cover. I found o powerful german tank unit SE of Birmingham (4 light tank II with 100XP)
which was not covered. I sent divebombers that destroyed 75% of these tanks.
I then used my artillery and ship artillery to soften up the defense in Birmingham. The following ground attack
was successful and my troops marched in again.
SE of Manchester i saw another dangerous german attack group (47th corps). Attacked it by divebombers and artillery.
Then a ground attack from 3 directions. It had to retreat, but caused nice losses among my attackers.
Near Athens i attacked the germans to reopen the road to Athens. German 96th corps had to retreat under high losses.
A last good opportunity for my planes has been the 99th corps (the most northen one on Toms first screen).
Sent my fighters in which did a good job. All these corps lost most of their combat value. Now since my UK defense is not longer a secret
i attach a screen.
