Sealion Version 1.0

@ampdrive

Did think of stripping the Malta garrison, because the island itself is virtually useless.

Germany probably doesn’t need aircraft to attack Greece.

Keep in mind, that thread was for OOB, and it was well over a year ago.

The basic plan is still the same, but many have come up with their own variations that improve the odds in the battles significantly.  I have tweaked it many times and have much better odds now on London in the 90% range.

@questioneer:

I want to try this next as Axis.

1.) Do G3 or G4 Sealion

2.) J1, J2, J3- build up in Japanese seazone for a largescale Alaskan invasion.

3.) Pull off Sealion and Alaskan invasion in the same round

4.) With Japan pressing into Canada and threaten WUS and keep shucking troops over to Alaska.

With Japan doing a KAF, it may distract US financially enough to have to divert a good amount of cash and units into the Pacific theatre, buying the time Germany, Italy needs to sack Moscow in few rounds.

Don’t forget this is Europe ;)

I’m as gentlemanly as they come, but I’d check-raise my Grandmother if she sat at a poker table with me.

@jim010:

[You can’t block the G3 London attack.

If you get luck and survive with some UK ships, then you could stand in front of the Germans.  But I doubt it would prevent the Germans from pushing through - and that scenario wil not be the norm.  Likely you won’t have any ships in range except for the Gibraltar fleet.

Oh no? It happened in the game I played last night. Germany got crappy dice rolling and the UK player took a bunch of risks, managed to take down the German AirForce. That really changed the game and made it pretty much impossible for Germany to invade England. Amazing though Germany managed to sneak a fleet across into Mexico and distracted America for another 2 turns defending itself. It was decided after bad rolling in Russia that the allies would win out even with Amercia distracted and the game was called an allied victory.

What the UK does is based on what they have left. Their fleet in the Med should run and hide if Germany kills the RN in the channel. Then they should build up to defend England and screw africa. Honestly the UK only cares about africa AFTER England is safe. Otherwise taking africa falls to the USA player.

Can’t believe, that there is a way a _(Standart-Experienced-)_UK-Players looses his Capital-City.

Must be a blind one…

Sorry. :|

We never tried sea lion, cause if the german player fails, the whole game ist over. Russia first!

Miamibeach, true if you can counter the SZ112 fleet of Germany you don’t go after the Italians I guess.

However if you can’t or Germany does not go Sea Lion this is very good attack and I am not quite sure this attack was foreseen during playtest.

p.s. you talk about 9 inf defending UK, but what about the Canadian troops coming in?
