SGS Sealion

Amazing scenario, fantastic looking game, well researched. However did lock down the German Armies in the beach sectors from turn 6/20 & won a strategic victory of 298% so maybe the game needs a tweak. love these games & thanks for all you do

This is the campaign I have always wanted to game. I have just started playing so, these are my preliminary observations only. It comes adorned with atmosphere that is worth the price of admission. Where did the designers get all the information on all the stuff included in the game? It boggles the mind! Not only is the land and air battles modeled but there is a naval aspect as well (even though it is somewhat abstracted it adds to the scope of the game). The manual is some help but there is a lot going on in the game. I have come to approach the series by not worrying about it and just learning as I go. There is a link on the main menu for video tutorials but it only links to a trailer for the game (which is exceedingly well done, btw). I have been playing SGS The Korean War to get my chops back up to speed and it is good to be back. I suspect the main event for SGS Sealion is the 30 turn campaign as the Germans. Can they really pull it off? Can they capture Churchill? I am going to take a look at SGS Overlord on the basis of my experience with this game and the game engine. Such fun! Highly recommended.

An excellent treatment for an hypothetical situation, reflecting quite well the possible situations that could have been, and rather faithful to the various analysis available on the subject. Playing the German is challenging as the British army is stronger than it seems. Hopefully, the Luftwaffe helps, unless the situation at sea gets awry. As the British, victory lies in weakening German convoys and beach barges, and the Royal Navy is excellent (the RAF can also help on the beaches if not under enemy air cover) Great challenging situations on both sides. Another good game !

Just won my first playthrough of the full campaign. I really enjoy this one as I specialise in the history of the defence of the UK during this period. It's nice to see the true strength of the Home Forces' ORBAT incorporated, as well as some of the overlooked units of the Home Forces represented, such as the Free Czechs and Belgians. Though are some minor things that currently aren't historically accurate, such as Z1 Scaffolding in place in September 1940 when it didn't start to be introduced until December 1940 and the presence of the Smith Gun that didn't enter service until 1942, everything is pretty much there. Not sure if there is a bug with the main campaign, but the Germans didn't seem to land further waves after the second wave of landings. Not sure if I stalled further landings as I attacked the landing force heavily with the remnants of the RAF and the Navy. I also turned the invading force back into the sea by turn 16, with no land forces present, which was meant to be an instant win but the game continued. It also continued after I surpassed 60 VPs. So this looks like a bit of a bug. Really good game though and the SGS platform really suits this what if campai…

great simulation, but some annoying glitches
