Il-2 Cliffs of Dover - Tools & Maps
Operation Steamworks - Luftwaffe Lagebericht An agent of the Sicherheitsdienst des Reichsführers-SS landed at Dover last week after sneaking aboard a British fishing vessel. Our agent has been able to tail the movements of several high ranking RAF commanders and relay their locations to Luftwaffe HQ. Several strikes have left us both empty handed and with less aircraft. Command has ordered a stop to these raids immediately. Before breaking contact and boarding a train headed for the coast, our agent transmitted the location of Chief Air Marshal Hugh Dowding. Dowding and his staff have been spotted at a retreat house on the river near the Waltham castle ruins, apparently enjoying the company of women, warm beer, and fishing. Other high ranking officials will be attending the opening of a newly constructed water treatment plant just down the river. The American convoy which slipped through our U-boat net in the Atlantic is heading towards the Southend Docks to unload countless weapons, food, and aid. This week has seen a continuous effort from the American Navy to supply the British.
HARD TARGETS:
Destroy the docks at Southend and the train shipping facility at Grid AS 27 which is moving thousands of tons of aid daily out of the Southend area and into all of Britain.
Destroy the Ashford water treatment plant at Grid AU 23 before it can become fully operational.
Canterbury airfield at grid AW 24 will need to be taken out to ensure our success this morning.
A small American shipping convoy is heading towards the docks at Southend, destroy these ships.
Two fishing boats were seen leaving Dunkerque last night heading for Margate. We suspect they ae stowing away OSS agents and French resistance fighters. Show them to their watery graves!
Attack and destroy all of Air Marshal Hugh Dowding's vehicles at the Waltham castle ruins retreat, preventing any escape from the area. Kill Dowding and his staff residing at the retreat house on the river bank.
Our Sicherheitsdienst des Reichsführers-SS agent has boarded the train leaving Folkestone station heading towards Ramsgate. He will notify us of his location once he exits the train. Be prepared for immediate Search and Rescue mission if our agent is able to exit the train and make contact. The agent will mark the best angle of approach for landing with red panel markers and will require a non-fighter aircraft (Bomber/Jabo with no bombs) to board. Intel on location of pickup and the location of drop off will be transmitted to the entire Luftwaffe when known. (IF SAR MISSION IS A SUCCESS, BLUE TEAM WINS REGARDLESS OF OBJECTS LEFT, IF SAR MISSION FAILS BY THE RESCUING PARTY'S DEATH/CRASH/TIME LIMIT THEN RED WINS. SAR MISSION CAN BE IGNORED AND MAP SUCCESS STILL POSSIBLE WITH COMPLETION OF ALL OTHER OBJECTIVES).
Margate
Attack the harbour warehouses and fuel tanks only!
