Hello,

I have never tried it as I'm not very good as axis and don't have a lot of experience as Axis. But how does an Axis player pull off Sealion step by step?

Thank you!

1) Air Dominance - removes Allied ability to block English Channel with ships
2) Buy third paratroopers so that you have three of them - don't lose them during Battle of France
3) Sell chits on turn one and put two into Amphibious Warfare. You should have lvl 1 Amphibious warfare by Fall of France.
4) Buy MarineKorps bomber so that it can clear Channel.

After Battle of France - push back Allied air - use MPP from Poland to buy 1/2 more fighters and more tactical bombers. Also invest in Ground attack weapons to make sure the Stukas can de-entrench. They should be ready for battle of Britain. Potentially sell more chits and invest in Long range aircraft.

1) Bomb the corps / army on one turn - drop three paratroops and attack the corps or army on whatever port hex.
2) Amphibious vehicle should have tanks. Sometime if you take a city that port only goes to five so you can transport a HQ in - but don't count on it. Have one HQ in an AVL and 2 tanks in the AV. You should be able to then have 1 HQ, 3 paratroops, and 2 tank landed in England in one turn.

Counter-points. If they have every hex with units then you have to really go all out on the airforce. Don't invest any research chits except AW & ground attack weapons and just buy more planes.

Clarifying that you have to spring for the third paratroop before the scripted ones come onboard in early '40. The Italian one could also help. Since the build limit is 1 one of them could be moved to the build queue in the editor so the Germans can't go +2 over their limit.
