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.
Attack Waves
-
I know the general rule is that all attack movements are simultaneous, but what does it do (in your opinion) to allow “attack waves” ? In such, I mean what if you wanted to send one volley of units into a territory to clear out the enemy to allow your second wave to move through it (tanks blitzing) to try to take another area. Same concept could be applied to one wave of ships working over some enemy ships - and once they are destroyed, other ships can roll through.
Units would need to be announced that the intention was to move through the previous battle area before the first battle happened, this way - the second wave was committed to move through the area. …and IF the enemy was victorious, the second wave would need to stop and fight, now unable to make it to their previous destination.
Thoughts?

This would totally destroy any tactics of blocking with inf/DDs

I hear what you are saying. What about if it was limited to bombing runs? In such, Bombers were allowed to penetrate the enemy line and attack (taking fire from enemy forces & AA), then the ground forces move in. Still unbalancing?

Not sure. Both sides can easily benefit, but I’m not sure if one side will benefit more
