Welcome FlowerG.
I agree, out of box rules allow too easy of a sealion. We staged a game where UK built only infantry and Germany focused solely on sealion. Germany still took London with no problem. We’ll be playing with Alpha rules from now on.
I assume this isn’t the case but I didn’t want to rule it out as my nephew asked since I attacked the Italian fleet in sea zone 95? I know W. Germany is a coastal place with an airforce but it didn’t make sense it could send fighters across a land territory like northern Italy to attack sea zone 95?
Anyway, let me know.
@Barca1984 No, that’s not possible. Air units can scramble only to sea zones adjacent to the territory the air base is in. in Western Germany’s case, those would be sea zones 112 and 113. See page 16 of the Rulebook.
@Krieghund Thanks, cheers!
