Britain is not as safe as you thought...
Here's a guide to invading it.
1. Use airmobile infantry.
I am not sure if airmobile infantry declares war upon takeoff, but it is a surefire way to avoid Britain's huge naval forces.
If it is a 4x game, and you are sure the player is asleep, then feel free to take a small province with no troops, then, build an airstrip and move your army in. If it is not 4x, you will want to deal a devastating blow to London(Which has an airport). Then, fly your remaining troops in!
2. Use a risky way called "Rapid docking".
Send your invasion force to attack your target(maybe london, as you can fly your troops in afterword). The second it starts the disembarking timer of 2h and 15 min, it should declare war. Rapidly tap on your disembarking transport, and reselect your target. This turns your transport instantly into a land division.
Hopefully the devs don't fix this interesting feature... Or nerf airmobile even more...
This way, your troops suffer at most 1 hit from any ships. Maybe even none, because ship artillery takes 5 seconds to aim and fire.
After that, you just neutralized Britain's island advantage! Congrats.
You better make sure the player is sleeping or not online though...
Please give me your results and/or comments.
NOTE:
This only works really with Britain(or maybe ireland in bigger maps).
Britain has a 35ish mile wide channel(at some places) separating it from france and belgium(and the rest of europe).
Using airmobile infantry to invade australia, for instance, would not work.
As for rapid docking, I'm sure the player would have seen you. Australia is a huge distance away from anywhere else(other than NZ).
