First: If such thread already appeard, then could somebody kindly share a link? Because i couldn't find anything :(

I'm currently playing HSR 2.11, and playing as Germany.
I went down base strike route, and now have a formidable navy, with 2 carrier task forces and one surface action group (according to paradoxian.org) and 6 transports. I've taken Dover with 3 brigaded marine divisions, landed 3 inf, 3 arm and 1 more marine division.
But after some time, my fleet's have to be repaired (because of constant british navy attacks) and then, my land forces can't hold on against their counterattack.
Another problem, which puts airborne assault out of question is that all british provinces have 1 inf and 1 gar, and 2 armoured groups (3 divisins each) are located in the middle.
How should I make proper seelowe? Any advices, or easy-to-use plans?

Don't know about HSR, but why did you land so few troops? I usually send between 15 and 25 infantry divisions and several tank corps, just to make sure the Brits are defeated soundly. They sometimes manage to pile up 30-50 divisions in one province, that's why you need to land in force.

You built a good navy? Great sports! :) I never do that, as it is absolutely not necessary. Still, if you did, then why can't you bring in more reinforcements?

The most important thing for Seelöwe is to build plenty of convoys beforehand. Anything else is purely cosmetic. Your starting army, navy and airforce is totally sufficient for a 1940 Seelöwe.

About the general tactics: The hard part is getting ashore. You already hold Dover, which should mean that you have already won Seelöwe. Just reinforce and take another province, so you can attack the next from two angles and soon you'll get to Scapa Flow... :)

Like Pal said, you have to land with sufficient troops. Also try to attack 2 or 3 beaches at the same time. It does not matter if 1 landing failes as long as it keeps enemy troops away from the other beaches. And if you hold 2 beaches, your troops can retreat to one of them if they are attacked.
