Coventry

**Coventry** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps*.

## Briefings

The Free French who have taken up defensive positions around Coventry have rejected our demand to surrender. As a result, High Command has dispatched the Vichy French while your troops remains on the sidelines. We have placed the Vichy French Expeditionary Force under your command; it consists of units with obsolete equipment. Let's hope their morale will compensate.

High Command demands the job's completion in no more than five days, Herr General. I am probably out of line telling you this, but this seems utterly ridiculous. We conquered Yugoslavia and Greece, why would a week make any difference in the grand scheme? Those Vichy units are only good for unimportant areas, not deployment to the frontline.

Orders are orders, however: you can only deploy a few "spectators" near Redditch, including all of your SE units, but the rest is up to the Vichy French. Good luck, Herr General.

### Decisive or marginal victory

Once again you saved the day, Herr General. You taught the Free French a lesson and the defectors will not escape imprisonment. With Birmingham and Coventry well secured, these cities will serve as bases for further advancement into the industrial heart of England.

The next step of the operation is the advance towards Scotland. High Command has decided that such an operation requires two spearheads. Which would you like to lead?

The choice is yours, Herr General.

Irish Sea Advance along the West Coast

North Sea Advance along the East Coast

* Take up the reins, Herr General. Deploy your core units in three possible deployment areas at the beginning of the next turn.Mission objectives changed!Your new orders are to take the cities of Coventry and Birmingham and no Free French units can remain after the final turn of this mission for a decisive outcome.Two Ju 52's and two DFS 230's will be at your disposal.

* Instruct the Vichy French units to proceed towards Coventry. Their orders are to take the city.You can only deploy one core unit and all of your elite units. It is highly recommended to upgrade/reinforce the rest of your army at the current deployment phase. Remember, when you give reinforcements in a latter stage of this engagement, it will be more costly.Further orders will be given some time during this scenario.
