From March 9 through March 15, this week’s Game of the Week crosses the Channel in the wake of William the Conqueror—but with barges instead of longships and the fate of a continent riding on a few narrow sea lanes. Panzer Campaigns: Sealion ’40 is featured at 25% off, inviting you to explore the most audacious question of 1940: what if Germany had tried to carry the war onto British soil?
This isn’t a loose “what-if” daydream. Sealion ’40 is grounded in actual German operational planning for the invasion—staff concepts, landing priorities, shipping assumptions, and the very constraints that made the idea so perilous. The game’s scenarios turn that paperwork into hard choices: where to land, how to break out, and how to keep an invasion alive when weather, air power, and the Royal Navy all have a vote.
