SE England, Sept 24th 1940: In June 1940, after defeating the best Europe could offer, Germany massed its troops ready to cross the English Channel. The historical course of events led to Hitler never taking the gamble to utilize 'Operation Sealion', the actual plan to take England. Generally speaking there are 2 theories for the landings to have taken place. This September scenario uses the historical landing plan: 0600 Assault Boats; 0800 Barges towed by Assault Boats; 1000-1200 Barges towed by Transports; 1800-2000 1st load from Transports; 0800-1000 (S+1) 2nd load from Transports; 2000-2200 (S+1) 3rd load from Transports; 0800-1000 (S+2) 4th load from Transports; the 5th load from Transports consists of Divisional Services as does the Assault Boats that return on S+4; the Transport round trips arrive every 4 days, which was optimistic, and thus the follow-up reinforcements are set arrive on S+5, S+9, S+13, S+17, S+21, and S+25.

The bicycle troops inability to merge with the regular troops is costly in fatigue and damage taken. The air drop and landing beach losses are extremely tough to overcome. British artillery units when merged, is very deadly.
We didn't play with Optional fire rules. might make a bit more balanced.

Sea Lion is not a barn burner, but it can be won by the British. You have to take the long view and not go for throwing the Germans into the Sea as that isn't likely. But if you play for time, use delaying tactics, and focus on making the Germans have supply issues you will gain the upper hand once your reserves are released. The you squeeze them like an anaconda.
