Germany Invades Britain! |
|
|
It was the summer
of 1940. The Germans had already marched across France in a spectacular
victory. Now the Wehrmacht faced Britain, with only the English Channel
between them.
The British Army
had been rescued by the miracle at Dunkirk but, as a result of abandoning
much of its equipment in France, was a poorly equipped, disorganized force,
backed up by untried reserves along with some under trained Canadian and
ANZAC units. The Germans facing them were the juggernaut that had won
victory after stunning victory, were full of confidence, and had a proven
panzer arm—lacked experience in amphibious operations.
Sealion ‘40
explores “what if” the RAF had been beaten in the Battle of Britain and
events had transpired to create conditions where Hitler might have launched
Operation Sealion – the invasion of Great Britain. |

A
Panzer Campaigns First |
|
|
The previous 17 titles in this award-winning series have focused on
historical campaigns that were planned and executed across Europe & Africa –
but this is the first venture into a purely hypothetical campaign. With that
said, the core game is based solidly on historical plans that the Germans
had in place under consideration of execution. Additionally the OOB’s are
based on the actual forces available to the combatants at the time. This is
alternative history at its best!
Sealion ‘40 features the familiar Panzer Campaigns interface and game
scale: one hex represents 1 kilometer and each turn is 2 hours. The main
campaign takes place on a 340 x 180 hex map of the southeastern English
coastline, from Ipswich in the north to Weymouth in the south. Hundreds of
English hamlets will be the scene of house-to-house and cottage-to-cottage
fighting as the British people defend their homeland from the invaders.

July CG with Strategy Operations is less historical but makes for a
great play with a lot of variations in the CG and with that replayablity

“live” play, and two-player hotseat
