That’s the point though. Sea Lion is an objective for Germany but there is no justification for doing while the USSR is still a credible threat because once you capture London, there is no way in hell you can defend against the US liberation and the Soviet invasion. Hence, just don’t do it. I am only suggesting that if one wanted to do an early Sea Lion, you will need Japan to put so much pressure on USSR that Germany can focus completely on US thus Japan will lose in the Pacific. I agree Sea Lion isn’t a wise move.
Poll.Russia wants to leave Baltic Sea

OK,so you are Germany and not yet at war with Russia.
It’s Rd 1 or 2.
Russia asks you to allow it’s fleet through Danish straights. Do you say yes or no and why or why not?
IMO, I say let them out.I want control of the baltic .If Russia wants to risk its airforce to get my navy,I’m ok with that. -
Disclaimer.It’s not really a poll because I did’nt set this up for tabulating votes.I just want to hear ideas about the pros and cons,from German and Russian sides,of the starting Russian navy coming out of the Baltic sea zones.

@ampdrive don’t let them out. They die there , when you can bothered to take them out . Why let them roam free and possibly join the British, like the Russian Sub always does in other A&A variants?

I agree with Witt. Hem the Soviet Navy in. It’s what the Germans did in real life.Even if you didn’t destroy it it can’t do anything (unless they bought some transports to attack Berlin, but then they wouldn’t want to get out)
If the game had no political restrictions you might need to judge whether the Soviet player will attack you if you didn’t let them through.
