Overview:
Fictitious Operation Sea Lion scenario based on Germany's plans for the invasion of Britain --- General Ironside, C. in C. Home Forces, planned a defense in depth to ‘make every movement through the countryside impossible and to avoid the spectacle of France – having her guys torn out’. Local Defense Volunteers with shotguns and Molotov cocktails were to man roadblocks at key points. Troops of armed vehicles would serve in place of the armored cars he lacked. These he christened ‘Ironsides’. The fall of Hawkhurst on Tuesday afternoon shocked the British. Churchill and the War Cabinet considered releasing stocks of mustard gas to Bomber Command; meanwhile von Rundstedt strove to support the breakthrough. As bombs fell on the now deserted beaches, all the supplies that the invaders could carry were being rushed forward.Attacker: German (VII Corps supply and FlaK units, escorted by elements of Lehrregiment 'Brandenburg' special forces)
Defender: British (Kentish Villagers and Troops of 'Ironsides')
