Operation: Sea Lion

Jon this is a fantastic Idea! Unfortunately Mine and my friends forces are a little unprepared and I don't think we'll be ready in time to take part but if you're running future campaigns I will definitely take part. It's a shame as I would love to have defended my home land of Lancashire North =)

This looks like some fun.I will be signing are group up.I have not seen a campaign like this since the golden days of 40k.

I think I'll bring this to the attention of my group. Could be fun.

"Signed up, awaiting our Order of Marching, Herr Oberst, the Britishers will know not what hit them".

902. Battalion Lehr Divison.

Cool idea, sadly can't sign up as my LW Panzer company will not be ready in time (just ordered it yesterday), but I will participate in future campaigns.

The Fallschirmjager will fly again. First man to downing street gets a free beer at the local haufbrau.

Not in Sealion they wouldnt.

Lack of transport planes and heavy losses due to Norway, Holland and Belgium.

it's alternate history. I'm sure they would have built transport planes before starting the invasion.

I could see our gaming group commiting to this. I will bring this up to them.

Myself and some of my gaming group have started signing up! We're based in Bournemouth/Poole/Christchurch in the UK so can't wait to defend/attack the natural harbours and costal areas of Dorset (and back then Hampshire)

I got are group on board.

So far i only got four players in our group.

For armies,i got the 101st Airborne with a Glider Regiment.This will be a combine arms company.( two players ATM)
Next is a German Kampfgruppe and a possible Russian expeditionary force.

This should go on for a while, so paint away! This is a trial-run and we will be doing other stuff in the future.... probably more historical stuff.

We went 'Alternate History' here in order to be inclusive to as many players as possible.

Thanks!

This sounds like a good opporunity to use the scenario i have been working on.
It is titled PAra raid!!
The background is well basicaally a company of Paras raiding and destroying a German Airfield in Northern France.

Really wish this was Early, or at latest, Mid-War. Kind of doesn't make sense to use LW lists, considering many of the Axis lists are defensive and many of the Allied are offensive.

Still, cool idea.

True.

But then, some of the German and the British/American lists would be borrowing from North Africa.

And, of course, the WWPD crew and whoever else is working on the game could easily bring out some meta-forces to add to our companies.
