I was the German player. It appears the developers playtested this game very well! Germany is short always 1 unit here or there. Sea Lion is possible, but only if everything goes right, and there are a bunch of things that have to go right. If you do not credibly threaten Sea Lion, then the Allies can do other nasty things…whether and how you follow through with it…that is the question.
For those of you who have played AAP40 and noticed Japan always wins…well, with the USSR active…as you may have surmised, pretty much keeps Japan busy and China probably will not be taken out. Japan has to watch what happens in Europe as events there dictate how and when Japan attacks.
Its a fun game and looking forward to playing again.
