Introduction - The Fall of Britain

After winning the battle of Westerham [see score report here] Churchill is killed and German panzers streaming through the GHQ line. London is captured and British resistance crumbles. The Royal Family, the Crown Jewels and George Formby flee across the sea to Canada with the remains of the Royal Navy.

The Germans install Edward VIII as a puppet ruler of their new fascist state. As a reward for his outstanding service to the Fatherland, General von Klinkerhofen is appointed Military governor of Southern England. General von Klinkerhofen, commanding from his base in Winston Churchill’s former home of Chartwell rules with an Iron Fist. A new dark age descends on Britain … the British are cowed into submission by the shock of their defeat.

Slowly but surely the grip of the Germans grows tighter on England and dissent rises as a result. The arrogant nature of the German occupiers combined with forced requisitioning stirs the local population.

The special Auxiliary units trained by the British Army in espionage, assassination and demolition begin their work. Operating from secret hiding locations they disseminate propaganda and carry out acts of sabotage. A section of Auxiliary unit snipers begin assassinating German troops. German forces retaliate by forced imprisonment and requisitioning of all beer in Kent. This further angers the population.

Canada - The fight goes on

Across the Atlantic the Royal Navy begins fighting back against the Germans and are able to win naval supremacy against a Kriegsmarine already weakened by the invasions of Norway and Britain. The military situation prevents a full scale invasion of Britain from Canada, but in preparation the British Government in exile authorises the establishment of Commando Units to raid exposed German garrisons and assist the auxiliaries and British Resistance.


Resistance Grows
After the requisitioning of the beer crop, local civilians and former members of the home guard begin actively resisting the German occupiers. Led by a mysterious leader codenamed ‘Alfred’ they operate in the woods and marshes around Westerham carrying out acts of sabotage and stealing German military equipment. The security situation declines to such an extent that the Germans are forced to bring back a Fallschirmjaeger platoon to provide personal security for General von Klinkerhofen. In order to better understand the local threat, a platoon of Brandenburg Kommandos is brought into the area to work in co-operation with Abwehr and SD agents in order to infiltrate and destroy the British resistance. The Germans also deploy a crack sniper section to hunt down the British auxiliary snipers who are causing them such trouble.


An intelligence Coup

An infiltrator at German HQ discovers that King Edward VIII will be visiting Westerham and the HQ of General von Klinkerhofen to receive a personal update on current anti-partisan operations in the area. British authorities in Canada are informed. A platoon of elite Commandos under the Command is despatched across the ocean to infiltrate occupied Britain and join up with ‘Alfred’ and the British resistance. They are joined by a special agent codenamed ‘Bertie’.
 

A cunning plan

The British formulate a cunning plan. To coincide with the visit of King Edward VIII the British resistance will launch an uprising the Westerham area to divert German forces. In conjunction, auxiliary and sniper units will attack German forces in the area. While distracted by these events, the Commandos will attempt to destroy as much of the German defensive infrastructure as possible and kill or capture both General von Klinkerhofen and King Edward VIII. Agent Bertie [a professional actor who bears a striking resemblance to the King] will be secretly substituted in the confusion. When the time is right, he will call for an insurrection across Britain allowing British troops from Canada to land.
