desertfox5768 Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Any tips on how to pull this off? The British navy is so huge compared to the Kriegsmarine and I need the money to build tanks and armies for use against the English and the upcoming war with the Russians, and I don't have a dollar to spare on any more than one or two ships.

HankWWIIOnline Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 The problem I have is getting a foothold in England quick enough before the Russians join the party. You're best bet against Allied seapower around England is your Luftwaffe. Get range upgrades, and jet upgrades preferrably. You may lose some transports (Keep Corp units on the flanks of your landing assault) but they should take heavy losses from your Luftwaffe.

Friedrich_der_2 Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 It is important to be fast in the Lowlands and France. After Poland I concentrate on defeating Lowlands and France. Then I move my best army (in my definition the Manstein HQ and 4 armies and a tank unit). Move them from nothern France perhaps with a cheap Chorps at the side which is perhaps destroyed by the British navy. When you start transporting them you should have your (weak) fleet around them and 4 or 5 air fleets at the most northern points of France. At the same time a Italian army with 4 units (later 5) and a HQ attacks Spain, then Portugal and then Gibraltar. After capturing Gibraltar I move the Italian fleet (which fighted only a little to gain experience) to England. Normally at the same time I can capture London. With 2 or three German subs I sunk the British fleet. Then England gets no more troops from the USA and you can move 4 air fleets and 1 HQ (Rommel) to England. After some rounds Enlgand ist yours. Normally Russia attacks before England is mine but my German troops which are not needed in England are moved to Norway and Sweden. Some Italien and some German units are moved to the Russian border so you can tand there long enough until the very experienced troops from England and Sweden arrive. And it is also easy to capture Turkey after defeating England. This gives you the great oppurtunity to attack Russia in the Caucasian area. And this will boost you MPPs and this is the end of the Russian Empire I never engage in the med area. I think this is a waste of troops and time. You get Egypt for free when you defeat England. And you can capture Iraq easily after defeating Turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 SeaLion --- The question isn't how. That's easy. 2-HQ's, 3-Armies, 1-Tank, & All the Air you can afford. The question: When do you SeaLion? If you're right, you win. If you're wrong, you lost. Rambo knows SeaLion Rambo knows SC Rambo knows alot of stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
