Ok here we go... I don't know why I'm so nervous about this one. Anyway, thanks to SIPRES for his operational level map. Couldn't have done it without him. Thanks to Bill and Hubert for their expert advice and hand holding.

This is only the air battle and does not include Operation Sea Lion due to the scale of the map etc.

Bombers and fighters have two strikes, escorts, intercepts per three day turn. There are lots of MMPs to spend because you will have many casualties.

As the Luftwaffe the Chain Home radar sites are Dreadnaught units under the hood. Sink them and the RAF will not be able to see into your airfields. Use Tactical and Medium Bombers to attack these units.

Use Tactical Bombers to reduce and shatter AA, HQ and other air units . This reduces the enemy’s morale. Use Medium Bombers to do the same. Use Strategic bombers to attack cities, ports, and Chain Home radar to reduce the enemies MMPs, Morale and supply. You can cause areas of the British Isles to be without supply by judicious use of Strategic bombing, which will make the airfields unusable.

There is very little chance of reducing the RAF MMPs significantly. Bomb the right resources at the right time and reduce morale and supply.

As the RAF you must manage your units. Rotate out units that you can’t reinforce, have low readiness or are about to be shattered. Morale is how you win or lose. You may choose to do a fighter sweep on an airfield who you suspect harbors units are on the verge of being shattered. Every little bit helps.

You will receive new units. There is no time to rebuild shattered units.

The first side to drop below 10% National Moral loses.

For some reason you must choose then un-choose the graphic mods for them to work. I don't know why. Here is the default graphics package.

Hi Hairog, is this now out of beta and feature complete or still a WIP? Also is is PBM only or can it be played single player against AI?

Thanks
Steve

Unless you or someone finds a bug, it's done. I did not get a chance to test it through PBEM, but there is no reason why it wouldn't work. Both players have to have the mod of course. It plays very well Hot Seat so it should do fine.

Single player is good too. The AI for the Germans does a better job, So I suggest you play the RAF.

Let me know how it goes.
