West Front LCG - Operation Sealion

[Jason Petho]

We went over the latest news in detail and showed off some new features for the Campaign Series Middle East and Vietnam games. There was a good discussion and download of all that is going on and then we dove back into the West Front Operation Sealion Linked Campaign. Fortunately we are getting some reinforcements in this Linked Campaign, as I was able to get my units up to strength after the first scenario. We then participated in a shore battery operation, which helped elements of a mountain division arrive on shore. We are sitting at about 70% strength for our battalion at the moment and we have started the third scenario in the campaign, as we push north from the beachhead. To London!

We started off with the latest news about the Campaign Series, including some new Warsaw Pact vehicles. We also went over the pending JTCS UPDATE release plan and then dove back into the Sealion Linked Campaign. It seems we formulated a good plan and were mostly successful in our advance along Stone Street, the tactics seemed to work although we did suffer a few more casualties than expected due to the nature of the British Defences. After we started the next scenario, attempting to cross a river at Canterbury. This is turning into a serious struggle, especially with the 40mm AAA Guns wreaking havoc amongst my paras!
