What is the best way for UK to defend against Sea Lion?

What should UK buy on turn 1 and 2? Inf? Destroyers? Anything else?

I would say build all inf as Britain and have the US land all their planes there. If Germany is saving money for a turn to do Sea Lion, then changes their mind and attacks Russia, the UK troops can still be used in D-Day.

I would say to get art. and also inf. to spread out your defense force and aslo in the same case if Germany wants to attack U.S.S.R you will still have a good force to strike back. When i play I also like to buy a fighter if the USA can give enough units.

You can prevent the Allies from strongly reinforcing Russia with fighters by threatening Vyborg and Leningrad early. The only efficient way for the Allies to get fighters to Russia is through Leningrad, a distance of 4 from UK. Fighters built in the US on turn 1 land in UK on turn 2 and Leningrad in turn 3. They then join the Russian stack in Belorussia on turn 4. You have until then to make sure you have enough forces forward to ensure that the Russians can’t stand in Belorussia even with all the extra fighters. Further, funnelling fighters through Leningrad means the Allies have to divert ground units from Belorussia to prevent everything from being lost. If so, the German player gets to choose which battle to fight, Leningrad or Belorussia.

The other thing you can do is try to get the Allied player to divert fighters to the Battle of the Atlantic by using you subs in sea zones where it disrupts the flow of fighters to Leningrad.

If the Allied player has been able to get 7 or 8 extra fighters to Russia by turn 3 or 4, Germany is probably doomed, so a combination of pressure and diversion usually prevents the fighter build up.

what about if you keep the inf/art that was along the coast along with the tanks you add… then if you do retake france, you stand a better chance of holding against the next wave of allied landings, which may not be a whole lot stronger than the last as they are using trains of transports.

i’ve not played much AAE, Rundstedt looks like a good deterrent, especially early. maybe alternating landing zones by brits from uk and americans out of algeria into france and vichy france could split the defense though…

Well if your going to think of it like that, then the moment you take your units off any territory then it would mean that you have NONE there at all, which if your Germans would be bad news because the Guerilla or Partisan forces would immediatelly retake it. So when a territory has no units on it, but is still claimed by a specific country i think of it as that country has garrison troops there but none of actual combat effectivness :)

Thats just how i rationalize it… (America actually did have troops stationed in Iceland during the war, it was there that a US destroyer engaged a German U-Boat, neither was sank and the report was made so close to Germany’s declaration of war that it is hardly made notice of)

1. Concenrate on navy and air units buy some infantry each turn or aa guns to defend against bombing raids and a transport for later. You don’t need land yet you can get tons later from the 40 ipc’s each turn.

2. Hold the convoys. Depending on who you’re playing, if you completely wipe out the German navy they won’t build up too much again and if they do use your air force against them. Hopefully, they’ll be worried about Russia to worry about a navy that can’t to an amphibious assault (yet)

3. Get Britain to do a stradegic bombing raid on France. By now you should have built up enough infantry to hold France for alittle while. Do a bombing raid and amphibious assualt, this will weaken France alot. Then move your infantry on with transports you bought that turn (don’t get tanks as they’ll be destroyed by German fighters). Leave some fighters in France so you don’t get bombed or at least too much.

4. Next turn, get Britain to do bombing raids on the hopefully defenseless territories between France and Germany. Move your troops up and put new troops in France put every airforce you’ve got into Britain.

5. D-day

The most effective way I have found to defeat Germany is to build only bombers every turn with the USA and bomb them arround the clock. Also land US infantry in morocco on turn 1. Make artillery with Russia instead of infantry because you already have plenty of those and having massive numbers of 2’s is better than 1’s in a counter attack.

I never bother to calculate odds during a game, I like to keep my game smooth and the rounds fairly quick. I’m not sure about the statistics, but it seems to me that when I buy about even stacks of infantry and artillery (any extra cash going towards infantry) about every other round, creating hard hitting forces that outnumber the russians defenders. On the even round I like to build 5 or 6 tanks with infantry to catch up to the infantry and artillery from the previous turn. This provides me with a very tough offensive force with plenty of defensive power for holding territories. I don’t know if this stands up to more advanced strats, but it seems to work well for me, if I make the right opening moves; but then again, everything depends on the opening moves.

I recently played another game of europe, and i played as the allies. i held the germans back to a baltic states/east poland/rumania line until about turn 3 when they took ukraine with enough forces to hold it, and it became clear that if they wanted to they could easily take bellorussia or leningrad. I fell back w/ almost all of my troops to turkestan, and i think this is an awesome province. You can counterattack any units that go into moscow, bellorussia, caucasus, stalingrad, or russia. i left 1 man in bellorussia and 3 men in russia to counterattack any side force he would try to send north thru leningrad to archangel( i had already pushed his northern pincer force all the way back to norway) the only way this strategy really worked was that the germans lost almost all of their infantry in stupid attacks, so when the time came for him to take bellorussia to attack moscow the next turn, i would counterattack all of his 20+ tanks that were left unguarded in bellorussia with 20+ infantry, 8 or 9 artillery, 2 or 3 tanks, 5 fighters and 3 bombers(i use the patriotic rule alot). this was about turn 5, and by now the allies were preparing to invade germany from the sea, bombarding w/ 7 brit destroyers and 3 american destroyers. i would counterattack anything he would take into bellorussia, so there was no way he could win. this might be one of those staregies that only worked in that one instance, but do you think it could work all the time? i used to think germany had an advantage in this game, but now i’m not sure

Fighters/Bombers cannot attack Subs unless a Destroyer is present. Subs cannot attack air units. Besides that, normal battle.
