West Front: Operation Sea Lion

After expelling Allied armies from continental Europe during the long, brutal summer of 1940, Hitler set his sights on the ultimate prize—the invasion and capture of England! Plans were laid that called for German forces to storm the beaches with troops and seacraft of all shapes and sizes. The powerful Luftwaffe filled Britain's night skies in preparation for the invasion, but despite being outgunned and outnumbered, the Royal Air Force stunned the Reich by defeating the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain…and Germany's plans, code-named "Operation Sea Lion", went unfulfilled.

West Front: Sea Lion offers more exciting scenarios, linked campaigns, and gameplay options for Talonsoft's award-winning West Front game. With over 30 new scenarios to choose from, you can find the gameplay style that fits you the best—small battles, large campaigns, historical recreations, or hypothetical situations. West Front: Sea Lion brings the Western Front of World War II to life!
