I don't have long so I'l keep this short, but I like realism but all I said is that if you advertise a "completely dynamic campaign" it should be dynamic (even if an axis win is unlikely, eg turning off vulnerability sailing up the Thames and using your deck gun to level Westminster (which owing to my feelings about the congestion charge in London is a rather appealing idea), and the unfortunate truth is that had the Germans invaded when they wanted to invade they probably would have won simply because the UK didn't have the numbers or resources to kill them on beaches let alone the battle field, and once the Luftwaffe was once again fighting combined arms ops I doubt the RAF would have stood up much better than the French armie de air, in fact Churchill fell out with the high command as he insisted in sending the reserves that the general staff wanted for the defence of the UK to fight in north Africa. If the Germans wanted to invade they only needed to mass their artillery on the coast of the eastern channel and those land based guns would have made it a no go zone for the RN, and had they established a beach head there, I doubt we'd have been much able to oppose them, but as I said the Germans wanted to force a peace not really invade and occupy the UK, and their plans for the UK reflect this as they would have occupied southern England, granted semi autonomy to the north and full independence to Scotland and Wales with NI going back to Ireland, though their lack of enthusiasm is also reflected in their lack of serious planning and their will to put any of it into action. So certainly at the beginning of the war a resounding success by one or many U-boat captains could in theory have brought Churchill to the bargaining table, especially if is entailed the loss of 2 aircraft carries and 4/5 battleships (its feb 1940 and I'm hunting for BB number 3)
