While we're at it, any tips for the new and improved Seelöwe? I kinda forgot to prep for it so now I have only 3 TPs from the event earlier and a total of 9 TPs planned for October... but with 3 paras for the beachhead. I could execute it in ARMA but I'm not so sure here (especially as the Luftwaffe is getting pounded to bits).

i'm not sure hwo they pulled it off. i tried seelowe with a simultaneous marine and airborne assault, bombardment, and province-targeting air support against 2 infantry division and got crushed. the idiotic stacking penalties combined with my navy's desire to run from the smallest destroyer escort doomed the operation. the only time i've seen GER AI invade england was when the english left their coasts undefended and shipped all their units to north africa.

of course, even then you have the mighty iraqi, french, canadian, new zealand, and bhutanese air forces to contend with.

I got unlucky and during my last game the USA joined the war in 1939 (???). Made gaining a foothold in the air much harder. Actually, the only real up to date planes were mainly the USA's, and they were making a bunch. They were the only ones who actually bombed me either...

Yes as soon as USA joins in, all their air force is in britain. And since we decided that AI wont be loosing organisation on rebasing, they are all ready for battle. Air superiority is an absolute must to seelowe, in order to destroy Home Fleet and gain a foothold.

Well, first try of Seelöwe was a failure... Student's paratroops fought like devils on the shores of Dover, defeating a force which outnumbered them, but trying to ship in reinforcements was a monumental break of luck for the brits - their small fleet (BB + CVL + 2CA + some CL) kept intercepting my transport fleet (protected by my battlefleet) at the most inopportune moments (like one hour from when I would've had 7 divisions landed on Dover...TWICE) and while finally they lost ALL the ships in their initial fleet, it still managed to battle for days with essentialy 0 organization.

So yeah. Reload and Cardiff it is.

Especially since there seems to be a nasty bug with paratroopers. Even if they win a land battle, instead of capturing a province they get destroyed. Be carefull with them.

Note the "if ORG < 50%". If they end with ORG > 50% they do fine; drop below the magic number and *poof*...
