==Operation Dragoon==
;''Copied from Wikipedia: [[wikipedia:Operation Dragoon|''Operation Dragoon'']]
Operation Dragoon was the code name for the landing operation of the Allied invasion of Provence (Southern France) on the 15th of August 1944. Although initially designed to be executed in conjunction with Operation Overlord, the Allied landing in Normandy, a lack of available resources led to a cancellation of the second landing. By July 1944 the landing was reconsidered, as the clogged-up ports in Normandy did not have the capacity to adequately supply the Allied forces. Concurrently, the High Command of the French Liberation Army pushed for a revival of the operation that would include large numbers of French troops. As a result, the operation was finally approved in July to be executed in August.

===Involved Forces===
The operation was divided into four main forces, each with a naval component, and involving ships from the [[US Navy]], [[Royal Navy]], and the [[MN|FNFL]].
*Those forces were relatively unopposed on the sea, the German forces only being a "security flotilla".
*So far none of the involved ships are part of the game.
