Or as a German, just cross the canal and bomb, or escort the bombers, over and over.
It certainly will be fun for a while... but just how long a while?

There'll be plenty of scope.

The great untold story of the BoB period is the amount of RAF Bomber Command and Coastal Command involvement, with daytime bombing, minelaying and night raids.

The inclusion of a nightfighting Beaufighter gives us another pointer.

The German side should include convoy attacks with Stukas, the introduction of Jabo's, both 110's and 109's, airfield attacks, city attacks - both day and night, fighter sweeps, freijagd etc.

In fact, the more you think about it, the more scope there is.

Get yourself more and more familiar with the actual conflict and it will never get old. I'd recommend reading 3-4 books on the specifics of the battle(s) and understand the gravity of each moment/day and events. Then you can put yourself in that situation over and over again without getting bored.

The big question is whether sow will be optimised to the point where it can handle the realistic number of aircraft. Will Adler Tag for example actually involve 200-300 incoming bombers, or will every mission need to be a watered down aerial skirmish, involving only a few dozen aircraft at best.
