Best UK defense for Sealion 3 or 4 collaboration
-
While I generally believe a round 4 Sealion is unstoppable
I am looking at it.
If there are 10 TTs or less for Germany, it can be stopped G4. Just want to look at numbers if there are more TTs and where the UK canl have other units in other spaces that can spoil Germany.
-
What if Germany hits Scotland turn 2 to make up for having less than 13 transports?
I think there’s a lot of variation to check on.G2-
Hit Scotland with 3 TransportsG3-
Reinforce Scotland with 3 + G2 purchased Transports
(so ~9-13 Transports)G4-
Attack London with everything available
(~ 12-16 loads from Scotland + 9-13 loads from the Mainland)How would that break down?

Assume 13 transports
-
You stated 10 total.
-
I may or may not have stated that, but with 2 purchased on R1, and with hitting Normandy, I COULD have 13, so you should make decisions on worst case scenario, no? If you were wondering how to take England, I would say assume 7 transports.

Query: Can Russia move troops into China at any time? Are they required to wait until they are at war with Japan?
Please help.
-
??
Sargon, we’re talking about UK and Germ in this thread, not China and Russia.
Personally i think we should go with 11, 2 G1, 8 G2. But we all do things a bit differently. Provided the UK fleet can survive G2, I think we might have something here.
-
Regarding your I1, Jim, it seems fine to me.
Just wondering, why did you send only 1 Inf to Sfr?
I know it doesn’t really make a difference, I was just curious.Otherwise it seems good, plays the way a fleet-conserving (read: good) Italy would.
Other than that, I say go ahead with G2.
-
Just wanted to leave enough in Rome as to leave no doubt that it can be held in case taken by Italy.
Although it would be a moot point if London fell, as Germany would take the $ for themselves with a G3 Sealion.
Here’s where everything is at for G2. I would say land in Scotland.
-
I’d like to go back and forth on this one.
Whatever G2 we come up with, is there something that can be changed on UK1 to counter?
-
Proposed G2 attacks:
-
Just out of curiousity, Jim, why head east with the Italians? Trying to work with with just Germany?
-
The Italian fleet can’t be touched by either British air or the Med fleet.

I also like to get a head start on the Middle East. The sooner I’m in there, the quicker I get my $ up and the sooner I get the Iraq inf as well. I find that if I get into the east early, I usually can lock it up and then I have the $ to keep the US out of the Med for some time.
-
And Jim -
It’s definitely tough to say.
UK can hit 111 with 5 Fig, 1 Tac. Germany would have to put everything into that spot to protect the 3 Transports. That’s fine, and they’re pretty guaranteed, but Germany’d probably have to put something into the protection of the new 113 Transports. -
Pretty good reason for the British to keep their fleet in the Med and America to send reinforcements down.

Has there been a consensus strategy on this topic, because I would like to avoid reading 5 pages of opinions, but I will if I have to.

That’s fine, and they’re pretty guaranteed, but Germany’d probably have to put something into the protection of the new 113 Transports.I agree with that 100%. That’s why I left 1 BB back with 3 scrambles to protect them. Odds are with Germany in both sz111 and sz112.
That being said, could UK have moved or bought something to prevent a move to Scotland?
-
We haven’t discussed it too terribly much, it doesn’t directly affect Sealion too much.
That fleet would consist of only 1 DD, 1 CV, and 2 CA. Eventually Italy will just destroy it. It’s just a matter of when they concentrate their navy. Maybe they take Egypt I2, maybe they pull back to 97. Tough to say. A purchase of a couple subs along with that initial Fighter buy will all but guarantee the death of the Royal Navy’s remnants. Sure Uk can pull out those fighters from London at the last second, but they can only do so much against a Middle-East fueled Italy.
-
Wait, you leave the BB to protect the new Transports?
Leaving just 1 CV, 1 CA, 2 Fig to protect 111.
Is the potential sacrifice of that fleet + 3 Transports worth the death of 3-4 UK Fighters? That trade is probably in Germany’s favor, but is still a tough call. Plus that few high-power units means dice could royally screw that fight in either direction very easily. But this is probably ideal, seems alright to me.And I think you’re good as far as UK blocking 111.
If they did, the Luftwaffe would just nuke whatever lone DD/CA UK puts there. No issue there, as far as I can tell.
