Hampshire and Dorset, July 13th 1940: The Hampshire and Dorset portion of the July CG is pure speculation. "What If" the Germans had gone ahead with Sealion in July? This is a scenario of the western part of the alternative operation, with luck, the Germans hoped this area for landing was to be a complete surprise to the British. Although it was not the way the Germans usually used their forces, that is, splitting them, with the advent of the Panzer and Motorized Divisions, they had good cause to expect them to cut of the North of England by moving swiftly to the N and NE.

German forces include paratroops and seaborne forces. Axis airlift and sealift May 1940 capabilities are exaggerated as an entire paratroop division is flown in within 6 hours and heavy artillery including armor are landed on the English beaches during the first landing echelon. However, game is exciting and fast-paced as Germans race across the English countryside, battering aside the initial 2nd line British and home guard units, striving to reach Salisbury (1,000 VPs) and Southampton (500 VPs) before British defense lines stiffen. It’s a hypothetical game and you must buy into the premise that the RAF was defeated during the Battle of Britain and the Royal Navy was kept from the landing beaches by German mining of the English Channel approaches. But it is great fun and an exciting scenario! Slight Allied advantage. Good replay value. Recommended scenario!
