Operation Relinquish Reborn
Diese Operation über Frankreich hat keinen historischen Hintergrund, sie ist aber plausibel für die Endphase des Falls Rot.
Das britische Expeditionskorps beginnt mit dem Rückzug aus Frankreich. Ziel ist nicht Dünkirchen, sondern der Raum
Cherbourg. Drei bis vier Bomberpiloten oder Me 110 Jabos können diese Karte in knappen drei Stunden entscheiden. Viele
der Ziele sind Punktziele. Vorteil: sie lassen sich bereits mit einem einzigen gut gezielten Tiefangriff ausschalten. Der Nachteil:
Man muss diese kleinen Ziele erst finden.
TO: Forward stationed Luftwaffe commanders
FROM: Oberkommando der Luftwaffe
DATE: 5th of January, 1940.
TIME: 1215
WEATHER: Cloudy, winds 080 at 4 m/s gusting to 7 m/s.
Querqueville airfield is being used by the Allies as a medical evacuation site and is heavily defended leaving the
airfield near Theville open for targeting. Crater the runway making it unusable. AD 7-2
The Allies main fuel source for the main evacuation is being stored on the N side of the airfield at Theville. Evacuation
aircraft are being staged and fueled. Destroy this fuel depot and staging area. AD 7.2
The British have set up a temporary ammunition depot just outside the Cherbourg peninsula and are using it to supply their
forward operating bases and infantry units that will be covering the evacuation. It is strategically located near waterways, rail
systems and roads. Destroy this ammunition depot and cut off their supplies. AF 3-4
A strategic bridge located just north of the ammunition depot must be destroyed to cut off the main supply and evacuation
route of the Allies. The bridge spans three river branches, target the middle section and destroy that span. AF 3-4
The British have started to mass troops and supplies in preparation for a sea evacuation near the water inlet between Sainte-
Mere-Eglise and Isigny-sur-Mer. Destroy the Allies before they can retreat back to England. AF 3-8
A squadron of RAF night fighters have been deployed to the airfield at Crepon. These fighters are responsible for last
nights strafing runs on our forward lines. Ground them permanently. AK 3-4
Caen has become the Allies last forward strong point. Ground troops have started massing within the city limits just north of
the main rail yard. Pound this section of the city and rail yards to cut off any incoming trains and demoralize the morale of the
ground troops. Focus bombing on the two factories across the river from the rail yard and the troop tents, field hospital and
trains on the northern edge of the rail yard. AL 1-8
A small amphibious convoy has been spotted leaving the Allied sea evacuation staging area.
Sink the ships before they can escape. AH 6-4
