Outcomes

"The Allied attack is an astounding success. Their initial assault is met with only light German resistance, and they manage to secure and surround Kbely Airfield. Before German reinforcements could counterattack, the British storm and overrun Kbely, destroying the U.F.O. in the process. The German's prized technology wiped out, the Luftwaffe would be no match for the Allied forces in the battles to come."

— Allied Victory

"The fierce defense of Kbely by the German Elite was more than enough to hold back the Allied assault as new, technologically superior Luftwaffe decimated the British. The secrets held within Kbely would remain out of the Allies grasp, eventually leading to their devastation of Allied air forces at the hands of the Luftwaffe."

+====SAS Base====
-This airfield is Luftwaffe Commander Robert Ritter Von Griem's main headquarters and base of operations. This will feature air force technology and army brigades on here. Despite this lot, there are [[Flak 38]] guns and [[MG42]] gun posts to stop the [[SAS]] from capturing the airfield. German forces must hold this airfield and other outposts to have the British losing their tickets.

-The base, under SOE head Sir Charles Hambro, has army brigades and possibly, an air force to attack with. Commando rafts and rafts are good in the water for [[SAS]] troops to cross and get ashore to destroy Kbely Airfield.
