Operation Sea Lion

interesting :smile:

The Allies are allowing you to have a fleet??? Where are you finding the IPC’s?

i would go offensive or else he will just take russia instead :wink: but i wonder as well where to get the ipc’s from cause you need about 24 to defend europe, meaning you can only build 1 or 2 trannies a turn who will most likely be destroyed by english and russian fighters.

I haven’t tried this yet but I think that Germany can save all their IPC’s on the first turn, attack the british ships, taking convoy routes when possible, and then wait to see what the UK builds. Most likely it will be an anti-sub build.

If it looks plausible in the second round plop down an Invasion Fleet Hit convoy routs and ships and invade on turn three.

I think this only works if the UK doesn’t expect it also probably only works once. However, the second time you try it and the British fortify the island just build tanks for Russia.

Operation Sea Lion - Works half the time, comes down to an almost perfectly even battle.
Zero Turn - Germany uses 12$ for 1 Transport in the Danish Sea.
1st - Save Money except for 1 German AC. Take Leningrad
2nd - Build all Transport, move infantry ready to load. Use subs to screen and protect Transport. Take Convoy zones. delay the Us. Move all Air Force within Attacking range of Britain. Have an artillery for every Infantry.
3rd - Attack Britain. This will be a very close fight. If it looks like your going to lose, retreat your airforce. Attack next turn.
4th - Repeat

If Operation Sea Lion fails, one has just wasted up to four turns and a large amount of IPC’s on a frivilous invasion. Most likely, you will be dead in a few turns. There is no way a german player will be able to consolidate their Western and Eastern front after neglecting it for four turns and spending IPC’s on a navy. You’ve probably been wiped out of Africa and Russia probably has gone more agressive in purchasing or has fortified its front against Japan. I see this operation as a selfish and ambitious maneuver that does not serve the Axis as a whole any good. ANd against an experienced player, one will never succeed in this attack.

Either one, it fails. It would probably even fail in the Pacific version too.

problem with sea lion is any smart player can see it from a mile away. In the end, it all comes down to who has the best luck. You need to hope its you.

I usually only use risky plans like Sea lion when I am sure my opponent can kill me. Usually I go for more stable strategies.
