After a few hours of being out of contact the commander of the British 21st Battery, 2nd Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery reports in - he was supposed to deploy his guns to COULOGNE well before the 10th Panzer attack but never showed up in time for the battle.

The battery got held up by French civilian refugees cloggin the roads and got lost trying to find an alternative route. He does not explain why it took him so long to get organised and report back - the size of the allied held area around Calais is limited.

All the same, you have one battery of Bofors 40mm guns to add to the defences of any given sector. Do you want the battery to proceed to COULOGNE as previously intended or divert it to any other sector)...?
