Lovely work, just started to branch out into a 1940s Sealion period, wondering how your doing the campaign? Is it structured or just a series of random battles, i had tried to do a flow chart type, from initial air landings to seaborne, but found i was making things a bit too complicated.

Sorry had missed your comment and not checked back for a while. In a nutshell I am using the campaign as a way of generating interesting and engaging battles, rather than a competitive approach....so in essence the campaign is map based , I know the area pretty well anyway. Broadly then I am using info from the various published books and making the rest up. Example being with a bridge head between Folkestone and Dymchurch it is clear you are going to want to eliminate the airfields at Lympne and Hawkinge two battles in the planning stage. If the result doesn't work I either develop a work around or perhaps the Germans push harder for that objective. Hope this helps happy to discuss more perhaps on my blog ?
