Only on triplea have I had the pleasure of successfully pulling off Sea Lion. Iād love to do it on a table top game. The most recent time I had I think 8 tanks standing. No loss of aircraft as hits (2 fighters due to an AAA gun hit). I left the tanks there to really make it costly for the US to liberate London. My team won the gameā¦London didnāt get liberated until like round 11. It was a very long game.
I prefer Barbarossa, but if the UK hands London a silver platter because it got too aggressiveā¦then it needs to get punished. I donāt care what anyone says, no allies player like the advantage of London being knocked out for several turns. Iām not going to G2 purchase of a Sea Lion if several factors occur of course. But if Sea Lion is done right, the US has to respond and Japan has the chance to rage. Also, if Germany DOWs at the right moment, Russia can be pushed away from E. Poland (which I think is the critical position to keep Russia from getting to). They will come back, but then Germany might have the chance to get in position to start pushing Russia back from the border territories. Scandinavia might fall for a time being. Private Panic mentions losing a battle with favorable odds. Thatās not going to occur on a regular basis.
If the UK gets really aggressive in itās spending in the middle east UK1 and Sea Lion doesnāt occur, then in those situations I have a very difficult time overcoming a substantially large stack of UK fighters.
