(a) Axis shipping convoy (CQ 56) bound for Dunkirk: 10
(b) Axis convoy sheltering in the mouth of the Somme (BZ25): 10

Hi everyone,

By popular demand, a "Rematch" has been scheduled on Saturday, August 26, 2023 at 1900 GMT on Team Fusion #3 Server.

The Briefings remain the same: planesets have been slightly ajusted for playability balance . One added feature is the addition of Long Range Radio Beacons at all operational airfields for both sides. Their frequencies are noted below.

Good luck!!!
