About this expansion

Combat Commander: Battle Pack #6 – Sea Lion is a two-player collection of ten scenarios for the Combat Commander series, with games lasting about 180 minutes. Released in 2014, it explores an alternate history in which Germany successfully invades Great Britain.

Following an early and successful conclusion to the Battle of Britain, the Luftwaffe dominates the skies over southern England and the Channel ports of Southampton and Portsmouth. The scenarios cover late September through December 1940, tracing the initial invasion, the Axis advance toward London, the capture of the city, the early entry of the United States into the war, and the British counter-offensive known as Operation Tremor.

The battle pack includes ten new scenarios printed on card stock and ten new maps depicting locations in southern England. Fight over critical areas including Portsmouth, the Medway River, Trafalgar Square, Holloway Prison in London, and the Port of Dover. Several maps are based on locations personally visited by the designer.

  • Airdrops of Fallschirmjäger and supplies
  • Prison breaks and British Fascist uprisings
  • Targeted sniper attacks
  • Partisan attacks on German rear areas
  • Alternative night rules for Opportunity Fire

In Combat Commander: Battle Pack #6 – Sea Lion, players can command the forces of an invading Germany as it attempts to crush British resistance, or lead the remnants rescued from Dunkirk and the Home Guard in an effort to repel the invader. Operation Sea Lion is active, and the battle for Britain begins now.
