Thanks,

During World War 2, the operation “Sea Lion” was the name of the original Germany’s plan about the amphib invasion of United Kingdom. Learn more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Sealion

Yes, if America decides to try and move through SZ 60 with those ships in the combat movement phase, they will have to stop and engage the defending enemies. However, if you clear them out and then try to move your ships through on non-combat they can sail through.

You don’t have to take the fighter first. It’s perfectly legal to take the carrier and leave the fighter stranded. In order for the fighter’s move to not be a suicide mission, the only requirement is that it have a possible place to land (assuming the defender never hits). Once the battle actually starts, it’s up to the owning player which casualties are taken.

The rules dealing with suicide missions address movement only. There is nothing in the rules that indicates that casualties must be taken in a certain order to preserve fighters’ landing spaces.

Played a game with some friends over the weekend, and the unimaginable happened. I was playing as the UK and just wasn’t paying attention… left Britain open, and the German player saw the opportunity and invaded me with a tank, a dude, and his air force.

I thought for sure the game was over, especially because I’d been holding a large wad of cash, but the german player didn’t push his advantage. I retreated some troops from norway and retook the UK; meanwhile a large stack of german tanks headed for moscow… and then the german player got cautious and didn’t push his advantage.

The US player went for some tech upgrades, lucked out and got heavy bombers and long-range aircraft. The Japanese player was new, and while his strategy wasn’t bad, he just didn’t push into asia fast enough. US bombers sent his transports to the bottom of the sea, and his IC in India wasn’t enough to win.

About 12 rounds into the game, the axis players resigned.

Unbelievable.

If I had been playing germany and been given that opportunity, I would have won the game in 3 rounds, almost guaranteed. I’m still shaking my head at my luck.

@EEB:

This is my Sea Lion strategy, it works 75% of the time(the only times it failed was because I shouldn’t have launched Sea Lion):
1st build
Baltic Carrier, 1-2 fighters and whatever else you want, NO transports.
1st move: whatever you like, move all your air to EE, move everything out of Norway and WE, do NOT move German Meditteranean Navy to Gibraltar!
[…]
This plan is much more flexible than a purchase of 5 trannies, If you clearly can’t launch Sea Lion, then the CV still defends the Baltic pretty well.

Yea, sounds more flexible than first-turn-attack!

But you may be very short on INF after spend 26 or 36 IPC at fleet in the first round.
And it will work only once, if ever. In that case you have described I would go to ALG with both UK and US and would buy one more TRA for UK and minimum five ground units to fill my trannies at next round.
Frood says something like you capture UK, but lost 4 FIG. Perhaps more if both UK and US bomber are at UK too. And US and UK both have troops to get UK back immediately. UK will lose one rounds of building units, and you can’t attack a second time, I think.

I don’t think you can win the war with these. You win a move against UK in europe, you lose a move against russia because of missing INF. That 30 bucks from UK can’t buy your four FIG back (but you will have long range air).

But it seems to be a funny variant. Perhaps I’ll try it out just to see the face of my oppenent. May be worth it. ;)

Yes. Air attacks (other than SBRs) work in the same way as any other attack. The attack continues until one side or the other (or both) is destroyed, or the attacker retreats (or the defender submerges if it’s a sub).
