Their Finest Hour, I August 1940

"Their Finest Hour" is a operational-level wargame recreating the military situation facing Germany and Britain in the summer and autumn of 1940. The maps cover all of the United Kingdom plus northern France and western Norway. It's part of the Europa series of WWII wargames.



The Germans had just defeated France, and the British Army was only just recovering from the loss of equipment they had suffered in their desperate evacuation from Dunkirk. Only the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force stood in their way.



For the Germans, if the Germans could gain air superiority over the RAF, they could shield the Wehrmacht's crossing of the Channel to force a decisive land battle.
