English Channel, 10 July, 1940: With reconnaissance flights reporting heavy convoy activity in the Channel, the Luftwaffe launched a raid by 26 Dornier Do-17Z bombers of I./KG2 escorted by Messerschmitt Bf-110C twin-engine fighters of I./ZG.76 and Messerschmitt Bf-109Es of III./JG51. Given early warning by radar, Fighter Command scrambled four squadrons to intercept. As it approached the target convoy codenamed ‘Bread’, the Luftwaffe formation was intercepted by RAF fighters.
This WGS historical scenario designed for 6 players and requires four Hawker Hurricane Mk.Is, two Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Is and two Messerschmitt Bf-109Es from the Ares Battle of Britain squadron packs, two Messerschmitt Bf-110Cs from Ares Series 4 and three Heinkel He-111H-3s from the Ares Medium Bomber special packs.
