I know that they are both Germany strategies to move into London. How is one diffrent from the other?

I believe the term land bridge is different than sea lion.
Sea lion is a term used by the community to describe a specific attack.
Land Bridge was a term used by the company in the original A&A game (classic or 2nd ed) to describe action where you load and unload a transport from one territory to another without moving the transport.
Honestly, it is my belief the term land bridge has done nothing but brought about confusion. I can’t remember how many times I’ve had to instruct someone that the transport can still only move 2 infantry or 1 armor (in AAR it’s different, but I don’t remember seeing the term in the manual with AAR, it could be, I just don’t remember seeing it. Anyway, in AAR it would be any combo of two ground units provided at least one is an infantry unit.) And they’ve argued that a landbridge means unlimited movement on a transport.
Sigh….
Anyway, I personally just ignore the term land-bridge. It’s useless in my opinion. Transporting something is the same as land-bridging it except your transport doesn’t literally move on the board (but technically it does traverse the sea zone, just doesn’t leave it.)
OK So Japan could “landbridge” from Japan’s home island to Manchuria. Sealion is the the name of the German plan to move into London.
