Operation Sea Lion (German: Unternehmen Seelöwe) was Nazi Germany's plan to invade the United Kingdom during the Second World War following the fall of France. For any likelihood of success, however, the operation required air and naval supremacy over the English Channel, neither of which the Germans ever achieved. Sea Lion was postponed indefinitely on 17 September 1940 and never carried out. (Wiki)

In this fictive scenario Axis units invade Britain after the Luftwaffe’s glorious victory in the Battle of Britain. Now there is air supremacy, there is only one major threat for total Axis success; the mighty British fleet. German high command is therefore launching the offensive during winter with incremental snow blizzards to mask the Channel ferry to the coast of Britain. After debarkation the crack Axis formations will spearhead to the heart of free Britain and the final hope of Europe; London!
