Do You Play Sealion '40?

[Strela]

I'm like Liebchen, I think its a great situation and I have tried it a number of times against the AI (I wish I had time to PBEM!).

It's worth your time, but then I believe every game in the series has real strengths. The big positive with all the hypotheticals covered by JTS is that they have used actual plans that the various parties had in place. That shows in Sealion, Olympic & Coronet. The only one that varies a little is Fall Kreml in Moscow '42. The Germans always planned to hit Southern Russia in Fall Blau and Fall Kreml was just a ruse. The Soviets though believed the ruse and had the bulk of their new tank corps based around Moscow. For these scenarios, I took the starting position of the various forces as of June 1942 and changed one parameter, the northern arm of the forces that were in Fall Blau went North East not South East. Otherwise everything was completely historical.

So my vote is give Sealion a look, its a fascinating situation.
