Watch out, here comes another sea mammal...
But with a twist.
Let's agree that the July 1940 landing would have been a very near run thing, but probably successful for the Germans. Let's also agree that the level of superhuman foresight needed for Hitler to give the go ahead for preparations to begin for a July operation is ASB (The start of Case Yellow?!). So it's September or nothing. Let's agree to say Hitler isn't goaded into changing targets to British cities (borderline ASB, I'll admit). Then a strategic victory over the RAF is enjoyed by the Luftwaffe just soon enough for Sealion to commence. And the result? The 1975 wargame at the British military academy at Sandhurst. Nine divisions across, only seven supplied, and the supply lines across the English Channel eventually severed, thanks to the Royal Navy. The Germans in England run out of supplies and are forced to surrender. Gallipoli with no escape.
What happens next? To the Empire? It's position in the world? Germany's? How does Stalin react? America? Japan?
Opinions?
