Hello

Still digging in archives in anticipation  with  visual  update and  enjoying  early war planes.

This  is a 16 mission campaign for  I/JG27  (Google  translated  all  credits to authors: RC_Bu-Bu and RC_Bublik)

Story  driven  and  Air Start

A  lot  of  messages  guiding the missions  come  through  the  "Server"  so  you  have  to  enable  server messages in a window  (ALT+RightClick  into  existing  window  to  modify  or  anywhere  to  create  a new  one)

Spoiler

There is  a  sophisticated  working scoring  script,  writing the mission and campaign statistics in the briefing.  You  have to  make  sure  the  Steam/Steamapps/common/IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover Blitz/parts/bob/mission/campaign folder and subfolders is not read only.

Campaign  description: 

May 10, 1940 ended abruptly for the Allies "phoney war". Germany declared war on Belgium and Holland, who appealed for help to England and France. At 5:30 am, a group "B" launched an attack on these countries. However, the main goal of this attack was luring to the territory of Belgium, Allied troops.
The main blow was a group "A" through the Ardennes Forest and the Valley Wall. Six tank divisions, followed by motorized divisions, under the guise of mass dive-bombers struck at the turn of the Meuse at Sedan on the weakest section of the French front and broke through it, rushing into the interior of France. And in the end May 15 the Allies had already solved the problem is not how to defend Belgium, and how to get out. On the morning of May 15 Reynaud telephoned Churchill: "We have broken down: we have lost the battle."
Attempts to stop the Germans have failed due to the rapid pace of the German mobile units and follow them closely infantry divisions, which have broadened the front break and secured the flanks. German troops continued to expand unhindered breakthrough, the pace of the movement was on 50 or more miles a day. Panzer Wehrmacht forces moved in two directions: to the west, at Amiens, to cut off the communication of the allied forces in Belgium, linking them with the major armies in France, and south to Reims, to cut off communications and capture the French armies on the Maginot Line.
May 17 the British command had started talking about a possible evacuation of the British Marine Expeditionary Force.

You Luftwaffe Oberleutnant designated I/JG27.
