JG26 SEOW Campaign.
Operation Cerberus / Operation Fuller
The Channel Dash
February 11-13, 1942
Overview: During 1941 the RAF and the Royal Navy continued to frustrate the German Navy in their efforts to unleash the capital ships to the Atlantic for offensive operations against the allied shipping convoys. With the invasion of the Soviet Union, Adolf Hitler wanted to use these ships to defend a possible British invasion of Norway. Brest was constantly bombed by the RAF breakout of Brest. The fuehrers order them to return to home waters to deal with the possible threat of a British invasion of Norway. This campaign is an attempt to place players in the conditions that was part of this campaign.
Below is some information to read carefully regarding the rules and regulations of the campaign.
A. Settings:
SEOW/SEDCS Settings: CCI enabled, Industrial Production enabled (will produce supply only no combat unit production), Supply enabled, Radar enabled, mission length 2 hours.
Game Settings: Realistic, Views Realistic -No External off, (This view allows pilot to see his own plane when on the ground only. Should help with takeoffs to make sure your front is clear.)
JSGME Settings: HSFX history mode version 7.0.1, Expert Mode, and Hakenkruz required. Perfect Map, Sounds (optional)
B. Pilot Check List:
Each Pilot should be registered for campaign at the JG26 forum. Once registered you should receive password access to the SEOW mission planner and strategy bunker. The next step is to get your game configured for the campaign. After you are registered there are two files that participants must download and install in your game directory.
The process is outlined below.
1. Download and install the required campaign skins. The files are located at ( www.mediafire.com/download.php?lhby0tb6nxuvjt0 ) Once you have downloaded them to your desktop place them in your IL2 Game directory the default path is C:\Program Files \Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\PaintSchemes\Skins
2. Radio Files & Navigation:
The campaign will be using some authentic WW II Radio Files. Download them from this link
www.mediafire.com/?2ru83fau7uaiutg#!
Campaign participants after downloading the file will extract the folder labeled Radio. You should place them in your IL2 game directory path C:\Program Files Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\samples\Music\ (or where your game is located on your computer). It will ask you to overwrite say yes.
For radio broadcast to work your music must be switched on at the main menu.
The Campaign will be using realistic navigation with radio beacons, radio files. The NDB radio beacons transmit in Morse code so for you to view the code you must add this line to your Config.ini file in your IL2 1946 game directory ShowMorseAsText=1

3. Next start IL2 at the main menu go to controls. You will have to assign a key to Next Beacon and Previous Beacon in the control menu.
4.. Depending on whether you are flying Blue (Axis) or Red (Allied) you will need to change your name in the Pilot roster of the IL2 game. For our game Allies will put RAF_ before their call sign. Axis pilots will put OKL_ before their pilot call sign this must be completed prior to you joining the game server. This will only allow pilots to see their own teams aircraft in the
EX. 1.JaVA_Jojo will become RAF_1.JaVa_Jojo
JG26_Scannon will become OKL_JG26_Scannon
5. Activate your JSGME Settings (see above)
C. Objectives and Victory Conditions:
1. Objectives: Blue (German) must protect and move their fleet of capital ships from the Brest Area of the Bay of Biscay map thru the channel to the Axis ship withdrawal point located on the West Front 44 map this will represent German ships reaching home waters.
2. Victory Conditions:
OKL ( Blue Team)
Major Victory: All three capital ships reach German home waters Wilhelmshaven port (withdrawal point on West Front 44 map).
Minor Victory: 2/3 of the capital ships reach the axis ship withdrawal point.

RAF (Red Team)
Major Victory: All three capital ships are destroyed prior to reaching German home waters.
Minor Victory: 2/3 of the capital ships are sunk prior to reaching German home waters.
Major Defeat: All three capital ships reach German home waters.
D. Command Structure and SEOW Mission Planning:
Each team has a command structure and a respective persona that will be represented in game (British Staff Officer) for Allies and (OKW Staff Officer) for Axis. This information is in the Costs Table of the SEOW mission planner. Each staff officer has a command vehicle that you can use for movement. Teams should organize and select commanders for each side (Blue/Red). Once the command team is selected, each commander will receive a unique password to the SEOW MP and they will have command delegation over their respective units. The overall commander and /or their designee will have command over all units. Thus they can cancel or override subordinates orders. This is a new function in SEOW and will allow the commanders to only give orders to their designated units.

This transfer will be for commanders using the SOG functionality of the SEOW mission planner.
2. Command and Control: Some units are autonomous others will require a unit with CC unit to be within a radius to issue movement orders. Naval Commanders must be on board the ship to (loaded as cargo) to get command of ships. Once you have loaded commander this will allow the commander to change formations of task forces within the CC radius. Protect your commanders if they are killed or sunk you lose a lot of points and CC of some of your units.

Designated night fighters can only be flown as singles (tasks and plotted as a flight consisting of one plane). Night fighters are defensive weapons and can only be flown in your own territory. Since map grid is in km the max distance from the coast will be 40km so for example the allies will be restricted to the areas Portsmouth, Isle of Wight area no farther south than row 40, from Plymouth, Exeter area AQ-AR-40 to row 36, and from Predannek area AH- AI 38 no farther south than row 34. OKL is restricted to an area no greater than 40 km or 4 grids in whole sector view from the coastline of France or Axis controlled territory.
