It seems there has been much talk about launching a Sealion invasion with the Germans on G2 or G3. What I don’t understand is how this can possibly be a good idea for Germany considering the victory conditions. Even if the UK falls, Germany still needs to take several more victory cities since London is the only one on the island. Most of these will almost certainly have to come from the Soviet Union, who will have a several-turn jump on building land units on the Germans, who has been busy building ships the past several turns.
I think a better idea would be to prepare as early as possible for the inevitable Barbarossa rather than wasting time and effort on one victory city. By no means am I advocating Germany to completely ignore the Atlantic, but it should certainly not be their main focus. Victory cannot be attained in the Atlantic alone, but the game can be won by taking the Russian VC’s and an Italian takeover of Cairo.
