Just for the fun of it..... Has anyone ever tried landing on American Soil after a really successful sealion? I'd be a really funny thing and maybe there is a hidden event if you do so :shock:

Great AAR! Sucks the Russian Steamroller still couldn't be beaten. I doubt the Soviets would have made it as far as they did in real life without Western Invasions in Africa Italy and France.

That AAR showed the diplomatic and game play loopholes that have been corrected.

Finished a game over the weekend where I attempted a 1945 invasion of Canada after a successful 1944 Sealion. No surprises - ie I got thrashed.

Against a human opponent? Must have been a highly successfull game anyway :-)

I tried the same strategy as against you in the AAR. But this time the Allied player got sucked in. I was adjacent to Omsk by the end of summer 1944. Anticipating this, I had switched the Luftwaffe west, crushed a feeble Overlord with the help of the strong Kriegsmarine and Regia Marina, swept the skies over Britain and threw in a late Sealion. Three fine weather turns in Oct and Nov made it pretty successful, although three Italian MECHs getting sunk in the Irish Sea was a low point. Having a go at North America was by way of an experiment and to avoid boredom. (I was paying well over 100PP in excess transport charges for several turns.) I am still analysing the lessons. (Of the whole game.) But yes, pretty successful :D .

I think that would be classified as a "raid"
