British campaign

*The UK is an air-defensive faction focusing on aerial domination. Their fighter planes are strong and airports cost less to deploy.*

## **ACT I: Darkest hour** (Offensive vs. Germany)

*08/1940: After losing the Battle of Britain the British are trying to take London back from the Nazi forces*

**Alan Brooke:** *"*The British Empire lasted for centuries. You commander don't want to be the one to witness its demise, do you? We lost London due to shortsighted political decisions. The Battle for England was a disaster for us. And don't even get me started on Dunkirk. But until the day I die, we will never surrender!"

* **Nottingham:** Deathmatch
* **Oxford:** Deathmatch
* **Colchester:** Deathmatch
* **Winchester:** Deathmatch
* **Final: DOVER:** Kill VIP

**VICTORY: Alan Brooke:** *"Today you've really shown us something, commander. You play the resource management game well. All our troops in exactly the right spot to put Nazis in their place."*

**VICTORY: Alan Brooke:** *"Lack of character, imagination, drive, and leadership power... Should I go on?"*

## **ACT II: North Africa's Defense Strategy** (Defensive vs. Germany)

*01/1942: The repulsion of the German offensive in North Africa ends with a heroic defense of Tobruk and El Alamein.*

**Alan Brooke:** *"The Americans land in Tunisia in November and we shall join them there. It would be quite impolite of us to arrive late. Our friends over the pond observed enough of those sterile ministerial discussions in London, let us make a proper impression on them this time."*

* **El Agheila:** Protect VIP
* **Gialo Oasis:** Deathmatch
* **Benghazi:** Deathmatch
* **Giarabub:** Deathmatch
* **Tobruk:** Wave
* **Final: EL ALAMEIN:** Protect VIP

**VICTORY: Alan Brooke:** *"This battle will remain a symbol of the British resistance for a long time to come. We are ready to go to Tunisia. And then come back to Europe to finish the job."*

**LOSS: Alan Brooke:** *"It's been a long time since I've witnessed such a humiliating defeat. Your army drifts like a rudderless ship."*

## **ACT III: Broken Tehran** (Defensive vs. USSR)

*07/1943: Unsuccessful diplomatic talks lead to a conflict over demarcating the border through Iran's territory.*

**Alan Brooke:** *"I told them once, I told them twice, this man is not to be trusted. The ministers told me to endure Stalin's insults, now they too cannot let them go unanswered. The talks have failed, time to defend what should remain in our hands."*

* **Tehran:** Wave
* **Arak:** Deathmatch
* **Isfahan:** Protect VIP
* **Final: ABADAN:** Deathmatch

**VICTORY: Alan Brooke:** *"**Officially, what happened in Iran was not a war. What was it then? I'm sure the ministers will come up with some perfectly appropriate name. What matters is that now everyone knows the Soviets can be defeated."*

**LOSS Alan Brooke:** *"We missed our chance and completed only half the job. We have failed our allies. The world will remain divided for decades if not centuries to come."*

## **ACT IV: Operation Unthinkable** (Offensive vs. USSR)

*09/1945: Winston Churchill declares war on the communists to free allies in Eastern Europe.*

**Alan Brooke:** *"The ministers call it "Operation Unthinkable" even though I've been thinking about it for a long time. Stalin has already shown us in Iran what he thinks about our alliance. We've beaten the Soviets once, this time however will be much, much harder."*

* **Szczecin:** Kill VIP
* **Bydgoszcz:** Wave
* **Katowice:** Kill VIP
* **Kielce:** Deathmatch
* **Final: LUBLIN:** Deathmatch

**VICTORY: Alan Brooke:** *"We've achieved more than anyone expected. More than even I thought possible. We showed our allies we would never leave them in need. Now it's time for the Americans to follow our example."*

**LOSS:** **Alan Brooke:** *"An absolutely dreadful exhibition of amateur strategy! One of the most nerve-wracking things while watching an operation unroll itself is the intimate knowledge of the commander engaged."*
