Help with Amphibious Assaults (1.60)

[jzedward]

The Royal Navy have got a lot better at intercepting assaults in 1.60 (which is a good move, this should be hard...)

Can anyone provide hints and tips for a successful assault on Norway or Britain?

Obviously, the simple answer is build a big, bad German navy and destroy the Royal Navy over time, maybe I just don't have the patience to wait until 1941

Any ideas, detailed AAR or walkthru welcome

Thanks in advance
John

Hammer the Royal navy from the air for a few months, try to scare them out of the North Sea. Trouble is you'll need a two-week window to make the amphib assault.

Have some paratroopers available.

Right now, I don't think Norway is valuable enough to make the attempt.

I would help you, but for some reason I still don't have the patch that was done and sent to matrix last week sometime.

Fairly early on you will notice that your troops no longer need air support to defeat the Poles.  That's when I pull almost all my bomber units and station them by the channel.  The bomb Allied naval units in the North Atlantic until I have invaded France and penetrated far enough south that I can reposition them to attack the Northeast Atlantic.  Seven or eight hits a week for six or eight months will put a dent in any navy.  That's in addition to the naval battles.
