The against-all-odds German plan to invade the United Kingdom in the Fall of 1940. The whole campaign relied on the highly unlikely possibility of being able to ferry supplies across the English Channel long enough to finish the undertaking before, inevitably, RAF and Royal Navy grinded the German supply route into pieces.
⊕ Taking place in: 1940-09
⊕ Map size: 2000 = 40 x 50 hexagons
⊕ Specials: Attack across the English channel. Naval element (warships vs warships) and poor supply

WELCOME:
Operation Sea Lion by Joni Nuutinen is a turn based strategy game set on the southern part of the United Kingdom and the English Channel during the Second World War. You are in command of the German forces trying to cross the English Channel and invade the UK (Unternehmen Seelöwe).
VICTORY CONDITIONS:
The object of the game is to control OVER 100 Victory Points as quickly as possible.
Naval Troop Transport (NTT) shows how many Infantry units you can have crossing the English channel at the same time. Motorized units consume 2 NTTs, while Panzer units reserve 4 NTTs.
CAMPAIGN NOTES:
Victory Conditions: Control over 100 Victory Points (VPs), which are gained from the cities. 110 total Victory Points available in the campaign.
Royal Navy might evacuate units which are out of supply near coast (nearby German destroyers will block this).
Germany has only limited amount of naval troop transports (NTT) available. Infantry consumes 1, motorized units 2, panzers 4 NTTs.
Naval units and ground units on water hexagons (in Naval Troop Transport mode) do not need route to a supply source.
Supply Ships transport Supply Depots, the only source of supply for German units, across the English Channel. Ships turns into Depot after landing.
German Destroyers can be repaired in the harbor (anchor symbol on the map), located near Le Havre. Refuel by visiting German port cities. Any out-of-fuel destroyer will receive half of the fuel from any other destroyer entering the same hexagon. The more British destroyers have MPs the more likely they are to avoid engagement against superior force.
German Destroyers can barrage known British coastal dugouts and units (cost: loss of all MPs).
Generals can loot: Gives Supply Depot (with 6-18 supplies), but costs 10 MPs for the General, and gives +1 HP for area Home Guard units. Generals emerge as you land units in the UK.
Generals will automatically arrive once enough land area is under your control.
