Description

Set during the darkest days of the Second World War. It’s August 1940. Nazi Germany has conquered Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Holland, Luxembourg, Belgium, and France. Britain stands alone; facing the full might of the Nazi onslaught.

Can YOU defend that beleaguered isle long enough for the American people to wake up and come to the rescue? Or will the last bastion of resistance to Nazi tyranny fall?

Churchill said then, “Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war.” Can YOU do what no conqueror has managed since 1066 and invade England?

Find out in The Battle of Britain / Operation Sea Lion!

The game includes an 11x17” cardstock map of the British isles, two color counter sheets of game pieces, two cardstock player aid cards and complete rules. This divisional-level war game design is by the same author as Second American Revolution and includes air, ground and naval units, rules for weather, armor exploitation, British radar stations, reinforcements, the Irish Army and the Home Guard.

Game out the air battle of Britain and/or attempt the German invasion that never was. Bonus scenario included: a what-if postulating Hitler gave the orders to begin invasion preparations right after the French surrender, rather that waiting a month to see if the British would ask for terms.
