so, yeah, Sea Lion. anyone who knows me should know that, while i like ASB concepts, i havent really touched Sea Lion before this thread. just hear me out on this:

in addition to my ASB ATL, Anglo-American Rivalry, and my No-Morphine idea, another TL project i've been mulling over is a comprehensive TL of the events described in teh various campaigns of the first two Empire Earth RTS games because, on the surface, none of them seem to really conflict with each other. specifically, it would focus on the civilizations featured as being playable in each campaign (mainly the Greeks, the English, the Germans, the Russians, the Romans, the Americans, the Asians,* the Koreans, the Egyptians, and the Maasai) and their successors. because of the first German campaign (set in WW1 and WW2), this requires a successful Sea Lion :(

however, there's some things that i'd like to change about the actual conclusion of the German campaign in relation to the rest of it. in EE2, the American campaign involves the defeat of Germany and its partition, as in actual history. even though the Germans undertake operation Sea Lion in their own campaign--if we assume that the campaigns all go together in one timeline--they successfully invade England but are then driven out by the Allies (probably expending so many resources on that that they have fewer to work with against Russia).

basically, as ASB as it is, what does everyone think is the most plausible way that Sea Lion could work out, even if its barebones and only works for a short time before they are driven out. keep in mind that, while Hermann Goering and Erwin Rommel are leading commanders in the German armed forces, the Nazis are not necessarily in power (the word "Nazi" is never mentioned anywhere in any of the campaigns)



*in Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest, the futuristic campaign focuses on teh fictional United Federation of Asian Republics and takes place all over East Asia and then on Mars, though the main body of its territory appears to be China and the leader is (perhaps informally) referred to as Khan
