Il-2 Cliffs of Dover - Tools & Maps

London Ruft (East) V3c 5 Nov 1940 Winds light from the west Attention: Don‘t follow the grids in the original ATAG briefing. They are incorrect. Men and women of the Axis forces. In the next 24 - 48 hours we will begin our offensive to drive Allied forces from southern England and encircle London. Once London is encircled the Allies will almost certainly sue for peace and the war will be over. However there is much work to be done and the next 4 hours are critical to the success of this operation. Pls note that not all targets need to be destroyed to roll the map - refer below for further details. Pls also refer to the ATAG forums for target deck information. Main Briefing The number 1 Axis Force priority is to protect our ships bringing Panzers to England and protect our Panzer forces already in England. These Panzers are vital to the success of the offensive and if sufficient numbers are not available the offensive cannot occur. These ships are located south and east of Eastbourne and are heading north east bound for the Dover area. To protect these ships the following operations are to be conducted (a) Bomber forces: Axis bombers are to degrade Allied bomber force bases and prevent their use for Allied attacks on our ships and on our Panzer forces already in England. Our targeting branch has concluded that only a small of Ju-88 sorties are required to disable these fields until after the arrival of our ships. Key Allied bomber bases are at Gavesend and Willmington. Bomber base frequencies (primary/secondary) Littlestone 298, Lympne 296, Oye Plage 318 (includes Lorenz Landing System), and Boulogne 306. Our tactical targets are:

A small force of Royal Navy corvettes was last located in BC29 and are believed to be headed towards our convoy in an attempt to prevent the Panzers from being offload in Dover. Bomber and Jabo forces are to interedict this convoy and prevent it from closing with our convoy.

The number 2 Axis force priority is destruction of Allied tank force reserves. Bomber and jabo forces: Destruction of tank reserves at these locations. It is expected that around 50% destruction of these forces at each location will be required to neutralise the threat posed by these forces. Well-aimed attacks by 2-3 Ju-88s should be sufficient to achieve this level of destruction. The Allies are believed to have 2 tank reserves which have been located at AP 25-5

Second tank forces have been spottet in AN 22.1

Number 3 priority is the destruction of Allied lines of communication (LOC) nodes which are as follows:

Bassingstoke Railyard AG 24-9

AP 24-9 - Sevenoaks Railyard
