I’m on the Kent coast for a much-needed long weekend and obviously I’m in theoretical Sea Lion country. It’s gotten me thinking - there’s a lot of Sea Lion (not press) fiction out there. Some of it gets slated, some of it is good but isn’t trying to explore the actual ins and outs of the invasion-as-planned.
What I’m after is a narrative-ish work that takes the real plans, German and British, and talks through how it might’ve gone if they’d tried in conditions close to OTL. Yes, that means Germany loses - but where would the battles be, where might the GHQ line be tested, and so on? As I recall, there’s at least one out there that’s the famous 1970s war game played out as a narrative, concluding with the Germans pushed back to the sea. Is that worth picking up?
SLP’s own collection, Fight Them On The Beaches, contains some great stabs at exploring the real plans. But it’s not a long-form work.
So, any suggestions?
