    Icon22 Battle of France - Part I has now been released!

    Good morning,

    Since I finished Sedan last night, I thought I'd post pics of the town and a few other places.

    Il a bien quelques vielles missions de CFS1 reprises sur CFS2 mais depuis rien .
    Je me suis bien sur intéressé à la question ,mais mes missions ont besoin d'une mise au point pour tourner sur une installation standard . Est ce possible?

    From Dombral...(translated)

    Thank you for your interest in the battle of France which is somewhat overlooked by CFS2, but where are the French planes, there had to be some?

    He has a few old missions of CFS1 taken on CFS2 but since nothing.

    I got quite interested in the question, but my missions need a focus to turn on a standard installation. Is this possible?

    Dombral,

    I have your missions for the south, and am building missions for the French as well as for the British, Belgians, Italians, and Dutch. This is going to take a while, but fortunately, we have most of the scenery we need already.

    I also converted about sixty-five CFS1 missions for this so far to give me a head start.

    Dombral,

    J'ai vos missions pour le sud, et je suis en train de créer des missions aussi bien pour les Français que pour les Britanniques, les Belges, les Italiens et les Néerlandais. Cela prendra un certain temps, mais heureusement, nous avons déjà la plupart des paysages dont nous avons besoin.

    J'ai également converti environ soixante-cinq missions CFS1 pour cela jusqu'à présent pour me donner une longueur d'avance.

    Dombral,

    Thank you for your interest in the battle of France a little overlooked on CFS2. But I think there had to be French planes in France? Where are they?

    I am sending you a few examples, but my missions only pass on my computer, someone could adapt them, Rami did it with Dakar, but it's a big job.

    Dombral,

    Ne crains pas, mon ami. Les Français ne sont pas et ne seront pas oubliés. Ce projet est à la hauteur de la bataille de la Grande-Bretagne, peut-être plus grande ... le secteur nord (la Bataille de France-Nord) aura des missions impliquant les Hollandais, les Belges, le Français, le BEF et les Allemands.

    Hewman100 m'a envoyé près de cinquante pages de notes sur le BEF seul.

    J'ai déjà fait des missions pour les Français.

    Le secteur sud (Bataille de France-Sud) impliquera vos trente-quatre missions, ainsi que leurs réflexions italiennes. Je travaillerai sur ce projet pendant un long moment, je ne m'attends pas à ce que cela se fasse avant 2018.

    Je prévois éventuellement deux cent plus de missions au moment où la poussière s'installe l'année prochaine.

    Dombral...(translated)

    Fear not, my friend. The French are not and will not be forgotten. This project is on a par with the Battle of Britain, perhaps larger...the northern sector (Battle of France - North) alone will have missions involving the Dutch, Belgians, French, the BEF, and the Germans.

    Hewman100 sent me almost fifty pages of notes on the BEF alone.

    I have done some missions for the French already.

    The southern sector (Battle of France - South) will involve your thirty-four missions, as well as their Italian reflections. I will be working on this project for a good long while, I don't expect this to be done prior to 2018.

    I anticipate possibly another two-hundred plus missions by the time the dust settles sometime next year.

    Dombral,

    Have those missions as well....now that we have Wolfi's Avenger, the process will be easier, especially if I need a break from France from time to time.

    Meanwhile, here are Battles reforming after an attack on German Panzer columns in Luxembourg.

    Certainly shaping up to be an exciting and valuable addition to the CFS2 repertoire. Well done so far, and thanks to our hard working band of experten.

    c'est un Martin 167A du Groupe de reconnaissance GRI/61 Je l'ai utilisé pour représenter dans mes missions de la guerre franco-italienne de juin 1940 les 6 martin A167 qui ont attaqué la base aéronavale de Cagliari et ont détruit une dizaine d'hydravions italiens . On doit pouvoir le trouver dans la warbird library de SOH

    Good morning,

    Making steady progress...

    "title_string"=Battle of France (RAF) - "Flying Spades" around Lille
    "summary_string"=Scramble! A large formation of He-111s have been spotted near Lille, and have been loitering in this same sector looking for targets to bomb! Get over the city quickly, tear into the krauts, bloody their nose, and drive them away from the area and back to Germany!
    "objective_string"=On the evening of 10 May 1940, some twenty-plus He-111s were sighted near Lille, part of the larger force belonging to III/KG 54, whom had attacked rail targets in the Antwerp-Brussels-Ghent sector. Four Hurricanes from 3 Squadron scrambled from Merville and attacked, claiming two destroyed and two damaged. At various points, 607 Squadron, 87 Squadron, and 85 Squadron all ran into elements of this same formation, and between them claimed another seven destroyed and two damaged. Actual losses are not known.
    "intelligence_string"=Once in the air, climb to Angels 8 by the time you reach Lille. The formation of Heinkels is reported to be at a height of 2,000 meters. It is likely that other RAF fighter Squadrons will still be engaging as well, so be sure to attack the bombers and not other fighters. No reports of an escort have been received, but that does not mean German fighters might not be nearby. When you are finished or out of ammo, break off and return to Merville.
    "player_aircraft_name_string"=Hurricane MK1 Early 3 Sqn
    "airfield_string"=France - Merville

    "title_string"=Battle of France (RAF) - Search the Ardennes Forest
    "summary_string"=To your fighters! You have been tasked to escort a formation of Fairey Battles on a sweep over the Ardennes as they prowl for German columns. They will attack whatever they find, and you must keep them safe. Another flight of Hurricanes will assist your efforts. Make sure you fend off any German attacks, and get them back home!
    "objective_string"=This mission is an amalgam of two raids by Fairey Battles on 11 May. The first one saw eight Battles of 88 and 218 Squadrons attack the town of Wiltz in Luxembourg, escorted by six Hurricanes of 73 Squadron. A formation of Dornier 17Zs were seen near Vouziers, but left alone, and only one Battle returned to base. The latter Fairey raid saw five Hurricanes of 1 Squadron accompany Battles to an area northeast of Rethel, France. Over the target, three Bf-110s of II/ZG 1 were engaged, and two were brought down. This mission combines the two events.
    "intelligence_string"=Once airborne, your task is to rendezvous with the Battles and escort them during this sweep over the Ardennes. Another section of Hurricanes from 73 Squadron will provide high cover. The Battles will find & attack any armor in their sector. When they finish, you will bring them back toward the Reims area before returning to Berry-au-Bac. Above all else, make sure they can do their work unmolested when they attack!
    "player_aircraft_name_string"=Hurricane MK1 Early 1 Sqn
    "airfield_string"=France - Berry-au-Bac

    "title_string"=Battle of France (RAF) - Hurricane mêlée over Vraux
    "summary_string"=Scramble! German bombers have been spotted near Moulmelon! These bombers are likely going to raid the airfields at either Vraux or Athis, so you must climb hard & then pounce on them before they can reach the airfields! Tear into the enemy formation and bring down as many as you can!
    "objective_string"=73 Squadron's Hurricanes saw major action in the afternoon once a formation of thirty He-111s from II/KG 53, escorted by Bf-110s of I/ZG 1, neared the airfield at Vraux. Soon after the lead British fighters engaged, they were joined by seven more Hurricanes of 73 Squadron & yet another six from 501 Squadron. During this confused engagement, a total of ten Zerstörers were claimed as damaged, probable kills, or destroyed, while three Heinkels were claimed as destroyed & another as damaged. Actual losses on either side are not known.
    "intelligence_string"=After getting airborne, you'll climb hard up to an altitude of Angels 18; we hope this will allow you to bounce the Germans from superior height. When attacking the formation, focus on engaging enemy bombers, and utilize your superior agility to evade the escort, especially if they are Bf-110s. Be sure to stay in this fight as long as you can, but try to avoid getting your fighter mauled, it is not easy to secure replacements!
    "player_aircraft_name_string"=Hurricane MK1 Early 73 Sqn
    "airfield_string"=France - Reims

    "title_string"=Battle of France (RAF) - Stuka hunting over Brussels
    "summary_string"=To your Hurricanes! The Luftwaffe has been quite active all over the front today, so you are going to patrol over the city of Brussels, watching for any enemy air activity. With Allied forces under heavy pressure on all fronts, we must do all that we can to hold back the German onslaught!
    "objective_string"=During the afternoon of 11 May, six Hurricanes of 87 Squadron on patrol over Brussels ran into sixty unescorted Stukas (likely from elements of StG 2) attacking various points of the city. 87 Sqaudron pilots tore into these Stukas, claiming six with no loss. The losses should have been a clear warning to the Luftwaffe about the Stuka's vulnerability; she was virtually a sitting duck to enemy fighters.
    "intelligence_string"=After getting airborne, climb up to an altitude of Angels 15 as you head for Brussels. Over the city, look for any signs of enemy air activity. If you do encounter the Germans, you're cleared to engage. But choose your targets carefully; with these six Hurricanes, you'll be outnumbered, perhaps quite heavily, against any large formation. Make sure to get your crate back in one piece; we must have all resources available to combat these krauts!
    "player_aircraft_name_string"=Hurricane MK1 Early 87 Sqn
    "airfield_string"=France - Lille

    "title_string"=Battle of France (RAF) - Interdiction over Waalhaven
    "summary_string"=Attention, pilots! This "Phoney War" is now in the past; the Germans have begun moving into Holland, Belgium, and France, and are using their transport aircraft to secure airfields in Holland well ahead of their ground forces! You will fly to Waalhaven & with bomber assistance, take out the transports on the ground!
    "objective_string"=This is an amalgam of two RAF attacks during the afternoon of 10 May, 1940. The first one saw six Blenheim Ifs of 600 Sqn strafe Waalhaven, where they ran into troop-laden Ju-52s from ZG 1. These Blenheims pounced, and took down several before being mauled by Bf-110 escorts. Only one Blenheim survived. The second blow was by nine unescorted Blenheims, who pounced hard in the early evening. Despite flak damage, all these Blenheims returned, & they took out at least a dozen Ju-52 transports!
    "intelligence_string"=After getting airborne, you will fly east-northeast toward the Rotterdam area. Blenheim bombers will meet you en route. Over Holland, lend cover to the bombers, & if no enemy aircraft are nearby, make strafing runs on any transport planes, fuel stores, or ammo crates. If you see enemy aircraft, engage any transports and keep the enemy busy until the Blenheims finish. Once you exhaust all your ammo, break off and return to Manston. Be sure to come back intact, we don't want to bleed out resources during such a crucial time!
    "player_aircraft_name_string"=Blenheim Mk1f 600 Sqn
    "airfield_string"=England - Ramsgate

    "title_string"=Battle of France (RAF) - Heavy losses at Luxembourg
    "summary_string"=Listen up, chaps! We won't let German forces run for the French border, despite the French refusal to take any action! You'll spearhead this force of Fairey Battles that we'll send to blunt the German advance! Take out as many of them as you can, and then get back in one piece, we'll need to maintain our numbers to have any chance of repelling their invasion!
    "objective_string"=The afternoon & evening of 10 May, 1940 saw Air Minister Barrett take matters in his own hands to blunt the German advances after Gamelin refused to move. Battles from RAF 12, 103, 105, 142, 150, 218, and 226 Squadrons attacked German units in Luxembourg, trying to blunt their advance. Of the forty-eight Fairey Battles sent in two waves that afternoon, twenty-two failed to return at all, with another four badly damaged. Any impact they had on the German forces is unknown.
    "intelligence_string"=After taking off, you'll form up with other Battles from nearby airfields and fly to Luxembourg. Two columns of enemy vehicles & tanks are moving west rapidly through the country toward the Belgian & French borders. The enemy vehicles are reported to be just west of Luxembourg City. You will go in low with your bombs and try to halt their advance or destroy as many vehicles as you can. Make sure you watch out for heavy flak; flying this low you will not have a lot of time to react if you are hit!
    "player_aircraft_name_string"=Battle Mk1
    "airfield_string"=France - Reims

    "title_string"=Battle of France (RAF) - Wellingtons over Waalhaven
    "summary_string"=Listen up! The German Fallschirmjäger have seized airfields in Holland to support their invasion, and took Waalhaven earlier this evening! We will raid the aerodrome overnight to support the Dutch, who will follow our attack with a ground offensive and recapture the base to keep it out of enemy hands. Let's lend these Dutch forces our support!
    "objective_string"=During the overnight of 10-11 May 1940, the Royal Air Force tried to assist the Dutch in recapturing Waalhaven aerodrome, which had been overrun by German paratroopers. Thirty-six Wellingtons of 9, 37, 75 NZ, 99, 115, and 149 Squadrons raided the base overnight, with the first aircraft being used to drop flares. Impact of the raid was debatable; one RAF flight missed & hit part of the Dutch-held section of Rotterdam. Worse, the Dutch failed to follow up with their ground counteroffensive, and so the raid ultimatelty proved pointless.
    "intelligence_string"=After getting airborne, you will assemble with the other squadrons from East Anglia & Sussex before crossing the North Sea. You will attack Waalhaven from the southwest, then egress northwest & head back out to sea to minimize the time over Holland. Under cover of night, the accuracy of enemy flak should be reduced. Make sure to come back intact; we'll need to fly additional raids to try and slow or halt German advances in the area!
    "player_aircraft_name_string"=Vickers Wellington Mk Ic
    "airfield_string"=England - Marham
    "Rami"
