British Empire

-Join the FA, whatever that is.

-Amass all of our troops possible in Ireland and push back the Germans in the southern parts of Ireland. We attempt to force the Germans together by holding the line in the middle and pushing forwards along the coast.

-Rush Dublin with thousands of troops. We have nearly completely recapture the city, and we blockade the city with dozens of boats.

-Air forces consisting of thousands of bombers and fighters fly in from our bases in Ireland, Iceland, and Canada.

-Launch small attacks and raids John Paul Jones-style on major cities of Great Britain from the Isle of Man. We send troops to capture the cities of Lancaster and Whitehaven.

-Tanks and bombers wreak havoc upon the Donegal Bay forces and push them back. We surround the bay with battleships. They have nowhere to escape to. -We let the rebels take care of the Northern Ireland troops for now as they are holding their own.

-Call on our remaining allies to assist with the attack of Germany.

-Surround the entire island of Ireland with boats and planes. Bombing raids are carried out on German cities.

I get that the Royal Navy rules the waves or whatever, but how would this work? To surround Dublin, Royal Navy ships would be in the Irish Sea, which can only be reached by going quite close to Great Britain. Any ships which tried to pass through would have been ripped apart by naval bombers and the Kriegsmarine.

And how can you be bombing German cities? No fighter or bomber planes could travel the distance from Canada or Iceland to Germany and back again in a single flight. The British Isles are gone and America isn’t at war with the Axis, so I doubt the British have been developing any new planes. Plus the majority of planes in Ireland were destroyed on the ground or in the air by the Luftwaffe. New planes would have to break out of Ireland and cross Britain, France and the Low Countries to reach Germany.

You’ll see that I began the invasion of Ireland in the previous turn.
