Gentlemen, the military situation on the continent is desperate...
Whatever we may try on the ground or in the air, the Battle of France is lost!

It is imperative that we continue to evacuate as many men and equipment as possible via the port of Le Havre (AO.5) to the United Kingdom, and prepare for the inevitable next Battle.

The Battle of France is almost over, the Battle of Britain is about to begin!

Unfortunately units of the IX French Corps and the 51st (Highland) Division who were trying to reach Le Havre sector are surrounded at Veulettes-Sur-Mer (AS.9) by General Rommel's 7th Panzer Division.
The Royal Navy is currently attempting to evacuate them via the beaches.

Protect the port of Le Havre and the beach at Veulettes-Sur-Mer!!!


FIGHTER Squadron:

Wait for take-off clearance

Patrol Le-Havre (AO.5) / Veulettes-Sur-Mer (AS.9) / Yvetot (AT.6) sector and establish air superiority so that we can re-embark our troops.

Comrades,

One last effort and our victory will be total and unprecedented in history!

5 days ago we launched the Fall Rot plan, which consists of pushing what is left of the Franco-British armies southwards.

The Allies continue to re-embark troops and equipment via the port of Le Havre (AO.5).

The Royal Navy is also trying to evacuate troops encircled at Veulettes-Sur-Mer (AS.9) via the beaches, General Rommel's 7th PanzerDivision is currently launching an assault on the town!

2) Free Hunt group:
