JG26 Operation Fall Gelb SEOW Template Design Guide

This guide is to assist template designers in the placement of objects using the FMB. With regard to disposition of forces that are as historically accurate as possible for May, 10, 1940. The SEOW wiki How to Create a Template is a good guide for aspiring SEOW template designers.

Each respective commander from each side ( Red Team -Netherlands, Belgium, France, Great Britain Blue Team-Germany) will receive a mission file with the borders and aircraft already attached to the respective air fields and the BOF OB spreadsheet. All the template builder needs to do is add the ground units in the areas of the map under their control. The Battle of France OB.XL is a spreadsheet was developed to assist template builders with the distribution of forces using the FMB.

Guidelines for Template Builders
1. Template builders are prohibited from placing any objects within 10km or one grid section of the DMZ (demilitarized zone). No objects from either Red or Blue should be placed in Luxembourg ( neutral country) [BH1,BI2-BI4,BJ5,BK6,BL7,BL7-BL3,BM2,BN1]
Example of DMZ
Allied DMZ border:
BJ27 to BJ23
BK22 to BK21
BJ20 to BI14
BJ13 to BK12
BK11 to BK8
BJ7
BI6 to BI4
BH3 to BH1
Blue DMZ border:
BK27 to BL23
BL23 to BL20
BK-19
BJ19 to BJ15
BK-14
BL-13 to BL11
BM10 to BM 4
2. Template builders must use the agreed upon FMB insert # for the initial template for initialization. The numbers are in scale of 10% for playability factors. The admin will add reserves to supply points after initialization. Below is a map grid reference for placement of ground forces.

S~ All:

For those of you who are interested in the Order of Battle for Fall Gelb campaign, the links below will give you an approximate for disposition of forces May 10, 1940. We used this site as well as numerous book ("The Battle of France then and now" by Peter Cornwell to find the proper balance for game play. Initially the admin team has reduced the ratio to approximately 10% numbers For example if the Luftwaffe had 2500 AC available then for our scenario that would be 250 planes total.

Just a few notes for mission planners and pilots. There are several temporary airbases in Belgium and the Netherlands so you need to release chocks to take off. When landing do not taxi off runways or you will explode. You can just taxi to the side and put in your chocks if you wish to remain in the game. Once you have landed successfully and turned your engine off you can leave the game.
