A semi-historic mission centered around the German operation Fall Rot (Case Red), the second phase in the conquest of France. The attack began on June 5, 1940 with an offensive on the Somme. The purpose of the mission is to explore a new part of the map as well as provide ground pounders a target rich environment. This is a mission where the Stuka is truly in its element. The aircraft set is roughly historic with some additions for gameplay. Although they were not historically involved in this phase of the Battle of France, Spitfire I (100 Octane) & Ia (100 Octane) variants are available from some airfields. The Br.20 is also available to red to supplement their medium bomber force. Blue AI bombers will spawn periodically to attack red targets in order to advance the mission. Mission length is 4 hours.

The bulk of the BEF was trapped on the beaches of Dunkirk and forced to swim back across The Channel. The amount of material and equipment abandoned on the beaches is impossible to imagine. Now we turn our attention south and launch "Fall Rot" ("Case Red"), the drive on Paris. Smash the enemy air force and defensive positions so the panzers can move forward.
