The game is set up to follow the historical WW2 timeline, otherwise it all goes to pot especially in campaigns. We would get end-user "bug" reports for UK v GE in that date if placed in say a generic "Northern Europe" location, and what happens in the months in between fall of Tunisia and Sicily?

So no, what-ifs aren't the focus of the game, though they can be worked around for individually hand-crafted scenarios (even if a Sealion (say) scenario has to have a false date). But there wont be a Sealion scenario presented in the LC - as it did not happen.
