Jersey

**Jersey** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps 2*.

## Briefings

As part of the preparation for Operation Sea Lion, some advance forces were dispatched to secure the Channel Islands. After no resistance was met, High Command thought it might be a good idea to use them to set up a training range.

When we invade Britain, we're likely to have a very hard time establishing a beachhead, so this could be a good practice run.

A series of target dummies have been arrayed here. By engaging with these targets, our newest units can gain some experience before joining your veteran Panzer Corps in battle.

**Primary Objective: None.**

**Training Objective: Earn unit experience by attacking target dummies.**

Before you can reach the firing range, you'll need to land your forces and establish a supply line.

Our first wave will be landing without a source of supply, so breaking through the enemy coastal defenses quickly will be absolutely paramount. You'll need to find and seize control of a supply point as soon as possible or our forces will quickly become helpless.

While a port would normally be a source of supply, they probably won't be for our invasion. Expect enemy naval assets to block any source of port supply.

We can only dedicate limited stocks of ammunition for training purposes, so at maximum you will only be able to submit seven ground units and no aircraft to engage with the firing range.

I recommend sending our most inexperienced of units to the firing range for target practice, as they will benefit the most from the exercise.

Be sure to make the most of this opportunity, mein General.

### Debriefing

Not much to report today, mein General.

Our forces are ordered to remain in France for the time being; to continue to prepare and train for the naval invasion. We're still on high alert in case the order to launch goes out.

But it's up to the Luftwaffe to win their own Battle of Britain at this point. Without air supremecy over the English Channel, any invasion is destined to fail.

As I understand it, air combat operations against Britain should be ramping up any day now, so I guess we will have our answer one way or another very soon.

*A courier enters the room, presents Hauptmann Wagner with a strange looking letter, and departs without a word.*

A letter from Ana Sofia already? No, wait... this is from Germany.

My son,
         I write to you now, because there are events that have transpired that cannot wait for your return to Germany to discuss.

         Before I begin, I send you and all the brave soldiers you fight alongside my deepest thanks. Your successes have truly rejuvenated our country in a way I did not think was ever possible. The riots of misery that followed the Great War are gone, replaced with riotous celebrations of triumph after triumph.

         There is a sense of invulnerability in the air, as if we Germans can do anything!

         Even your father was swept up in the spirit of things, and for a time, he reminded me of that bold young man that I met and fell in love with so many years ago. I am so happy for that moment, because now there will be no more such moments.

         Somehow, he caught wind that your unit might be seeing combat near Verdun and suffered a terrible heart attack at the thought of it. I regret to inform you your father passed away at hospital the next day.

         Take comfort in the knowledge that his pride and concern for you were the last thoughts of his life. And know that he will rest easy, now that you have emerged victorious over the spectre of that place that had haunted him for so many years.

         Because of this, I have decided to change my mind on something I know is important to you. I know you have continued to stay in contact with that Spanish girl, despite my objections to your interest in her. There are many German ladies who would happily be with a dashing young officer such as yourself, if you would just give them a chance...

         But alas, if your heart cannot be swayed, then I will give my blessings. Should you continue to pursue this Spanish girl, my only request is that you arrange for her to visit Germany as soon as the war allows. I would like to judge her for myself.

         Be well, my son. Remember to treat your commanding officer with the utmost respect and professionalism at all times. Never forsake your duties, and continue to make us proud.

I remain,

         Baroness Ranna Wagner

*Hauptmann Wagner is silent for a moment, as he reflects on the news he has received.*

Mein General, I...

General %playername%, I must formally request a leave of absence. I'm afraid I will not be able to serve you to the best of my abilities until I have resolved these personal matters.

Good luck in England, mein Herr.

**Historically, occupation of Jersey, Guernsey, and other islands within the English Channel was achived with little bloodshed. Britain had demilitarised the islands, as their location in the Channel was of no strategic importance to either side.**

* ***Hauptmann Wagner:*** Mein General, I followed up on a tip from a British defector that there might be something of value on the island. Apparently the Standard Island Preferred Shipping Corporation was unable to move all the Allied equipment from the island before our arrival, so they tried to bury one of their warehouses.

* ***Hauptmann Wagner:*** After digging up a ridiculous amount of dirt, we finally found the warehouse. Some of the Spitfires were damaged by falling dirt, so we didn't recover enough of them to form a squadron, not yet at least. We did find a bunch of strange looking Hurricane fighters though. They have some powerful cannons, but it looks like that heavy weaponry has taken quite a toll on their flight performance. After we clean all the dirt off, we can access these fighters as captured units.

## Notes

* Capturing the Lovasz Residence will grant players 9 Strength points worth of Spitfire Mk.II Fighters and 25 Strength points worth of Hurricane Mk.IIC Fighters.
