If it was so easy for German players to over come the RAF, why did the Luftwaffe have trouble doing the same? I do remember that Adolf Galland asked Goering for a squadron of spitfires.

The German air operations were un-German; they lacked a clear Schwerpunkt.

The Battle of Britain was won and lost by leadership at the top or each respective country. One side had clear direction; the other did not. Had Herr Goering kept his nose out of it Germany would have had a chance.

No, had HITLER kept his nose out of it...

1)    The RAF & Luftwaffe played in real life, not a computer game.

2)    They only fought the battle once, they didnt get a chance to replay turns and garner the knowledge of dozens of players experience of the same battle.

Yea him too!

don't forget, the starting battle plan was working, and the RAF was HARD pressed to keep going, the LW changed targets and plans, and gave the RAF the chance they needed to rest up (of course it is not as easy as it sounds)

I actually once wrote an article on the subject:

What General Adolf Galland? Was he an effective commander?

Goering and Galland disagreed often. They saw the air war in very different lights. They did not agree in any way with how to prosecute the air war or how to use fighters. That lead to Galland relief late in the war.
