Walkthrough

Friendly forces

As usual, this operation is for 7 human players. 0-3 humans may play French battleships of Tier VII or VIII; the others play French, British, or American cruisers of Tier VII. In addition, the AI will control the friendly flagship Rouan, which is a Richelieu-class battleship; plus two additional friendly ships, which may either be battleships or cruisers depending on how many human-controlled battleships there are:

Human-controlled battleships	AI-controlled ships
0 or 1	Rouan, battleship, battleship
2	Rouan, battleship, cruiser
3	Rouan, cruiser, cruiser

Scout planes

The first enemies to appear are several squadrons of scout planes, which enter from the south border of the map. Although they are not armed, it is important to destroy them, as even a single plane escaping will lead to heavier enemy air strikes for the remainder of the battle.

First half: thunderstorm

TBD

Halftime: repairs

Rouan will slow down for 100 seconds, during which time it will repair all ships in a circle around itself.

Second half: Graf Zeppelin

In the second half of the operation, Graf Zeppelin will enter from the north edge of the map and begin to attack the friendly task force.
