The Germans have landed on Britain itself?
This war is going to get very interesting indeed!

HMS Habakkuk could have worked! Just not on the size that was suggested.
I can't imagine what Hitlers retaliation for the gas attack will be.

Reading Montgomery's preference for fighting, I must be him reincarnated. I always keep infantry, tanks, and motorized divisions under separate generals.
Also, I demand Rainywood make tons of awesome movies about Montgomery.

The British won a land engagement against Germany? In Darkest Hour and before Barbarossa?
Did you switch factions? The AI almost never defends Britain properly.
On the Montgomery comment, I've often heard it argued that Montgomery basically took over at the point the battle was already won; when he took over British material support in the theatre was picking up and Rommel's army was at the end of its supply lines and exhausted. It wasn't so much that Montgomery was a genius so much as that Rommel had nothing to work with; Montgomery had overwhelming material superiority.
That said, he won both battles of El Alamein and, overall, managed to inflict more losses on the Germans than the British took. The fact of the matter is that he did win.
There's also Market Garden which, to be fair, had it worked would have been one of the greatest victories of the entire war and would possibly have saved Berlin. Problem was it wasn't, mainly because the para's landed right on top of a resting panzer division. Amongst other things.
Seek75 said:Nah, it's a decently popular doctrine. It's what Rommel preferred, I believe. He hated mixing tanks and/or motorized divisions with infantry.

Keep up the good work; I'm looking forward to seeing what role the US will play, if any!
