None of the other invasion or ship attack examples are really
relevant, in others one side was far from their main bases or had been
weakened unequally by previous fighting, examples are Sicily and
Leyte. Sealion is the only instance between similar air forces close
to home which have to attack one set of ships while defending another.

I'd go with Crete as an amphibious attack far from the enemy's bases and
with total air supremacy, as a good example (and after a year of further
combat experience for the Luftwaffe)

If the Germans can't protect their force with those advantages, indeed
can't even get *any* past the RN, how can they land troops in the UK and
support and reinforce them enough to win?
