Operation Sea Lion

***** Operation Sealion by Bumsoft *****

This map was based on the German plans for the invasion of England. The Germans are mounting air and seaborn assaults on kent.If you have any comments or ways I can 
improve the map, please post them.

***** INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS *****

just copy the Operation_Sealion RFA file into your Mods/FH/Archives/BF1942/levels folder.
level requires FH 0.65

***** AFEW DETAILS *****

+ only the Germans have a permanent base.
+ the game starts with 6 British flags and 2 permanent German bases.
+ There are 3 sensible ways for the Germans to get ashore: by JU52 aircraft, By Barkasse/riverboat or by taking a lift in the E-Boat.
+ The map is based on real locations. If it's there in the map, It was there in 1940.
+ this map is optimised for conquest.

***** TIPS FOR THE BRITISH *****

+ Try spreading out your team and putting a player in each Howitzer, Bofors, Hurricane, Tank, pillbox and Destroyer.
+ Trying to hit small assault craft with 8inch guns can be hard - you amy only get 1 shot before your target gets too close.
+ Defending your vehicle coastal ports (Folkestone, Dover, Ramsgate) will deny the Germans use of armour.
+ This is long range combat - I don't want 64 players running around with MP40s and Thompsons. 
+ At the start of the game, I shouldn't be seeing any PIAT teams either - you will have nothing to fire on.

***** TIPS FOR THE GERMANS *****

+ your enemies will be spread out - try and focus your landing craft, and aircraft at a certain landing point to ensure a foothold.
+ Try to keep your E-Boats away from the coast - they should be hunting destroyers not landing troops. Use similatr tactics with your Me109s.
+ Lydd would be a good place to land first. It's capture will ensure you air superiority and Romney marshes will prove a natural defence against enemy armour and infantry.
+ capturing Dover will Guarantee you a captured S-35, Folkestone will get you a panzerii and Ramsgate will give you a PSW222.
+ Ashford and Canterbury are virtually useful in a strategicians point of view. but they will get you forward spawn points

***** NOTES *****

+ i got the map design from My trusty Times atlas of the world.
+ text in 'Objectives' is a quote from the book 'Delivered from evil' (Robert Leckie) It's a good read but you probably won't find it in the shops anymore.
+ I take no credit for FH itself, but thanks anyway guys for a great mod.
+ any problems? email me at [email protected] or post them at the files page.
+ enjoy!!!
