Germans in Dover

My Dad and I got together today to play our first game for the Operation Sea Lion Campaign being put on by WWPD.net.  This is a first round game designed to help the Germans make a beach head in southern England before the full campaign gets underway in the middle of the month.

Special rules for some of the platoons, like the swim panzer IVs and IIIs can be found in this .pdf put out by WWPD.

More Germans disembark from their landing craft to support the armor

Light artillery support is dropped off to support the assault



The Germans assault all along the front



Assault Engineers began the task of clearing a path through the minefield for the armor



The British deal out heavy casualties on the Germans clearing the wire



But the Germans keep pushing forward



Soviet AA shoot down another Stuka



British armored reserves arrive to try to thwart the attack



A German Panzer III is knocked out by a 6 pdr in the trenches

A worn down German platoon assaults the Brits in the trenches



They manage to force their way into the trenches

Fresh German troops make landing

After pioneers clear the minefield a Panzer charges forward only to be knocked out by the bunker



Up on the hill a fierce fore fight breaks out between the trenches.



More Naval fire reigns down on the Brits



German reserves surge forward



Under fire from 25 pdrs



Pioneers send their Goliath toward the bunker



BOOM!!!



With the bunker knocked out the Germans take the rest of the trench



After taking the trench the Germans move to assault the next trench line



And quickly over run the position
