Operation Chariot
28th March 1942, St Nazaire, France
The Bismark is running riot. It has already sunk the pride of the Royal Navy, the Hood, and it is currently set on destroying everything between the isles, and America. For now it is out of our reach, however at some point it will have to return to German shores, to resupply and repair. There is only one port on the occupied French coast that can accommodate such a vessel, the dry dock in St Nazaire, and that is something we can hit. What's more, the government has come to you, the Commandos of the Special Operations Branch, to do it. The Royal Navy has supplied you with some old ships for you to use, they are not expecting them back, they consist of a few landing craft, and an old Destroyer, HMS Cambeltown. The plan is simple, you will charge the gate of the dock with HMS Cambeltown, and you will ram it as far into the dock gate as you can. Once contact is made with the gate, the fuses will activate, and 30 minutes after that the explosives in the hold will detonate, and the dock will be blown to smithereens (note that the fuse is not reliable, and may detonate before or after the predicted time). Make sure you are not in it's direct vicinity when it blows. While you are in the port you are also tasked with the destruction of everything that you can get your hands on, most importantly, the rail yard in the town center. There is also believed to be a German general in the area, although this is not confirmed, take as many risks as you deem safe to eliminate him. Whatever the outcome, when you feel you must, you are to extract either by boat out to sea, or inland through the woods. Reconnaissance has been performed by R.A.F aircraft, however it is limited due to the regions anit-aircraft emplacements. There are two things you must remember during the operation: 1. they are not expecting you, but the element of surprise will not last forever, so hit them hard and hit them fast. 2. This mission cannot fail. If it does, the Bismark will return to sea, and the supply lines between Britain and it's allies will be severed, destroy the dock at all costs.
