As the Axis, the Med is virtually handed to you on a silver platter. How? you ask...
SPEED is of the essence, you want to secure this area and move on in 3 turns, so that makes Fall of France plus 3 turns=Winter1941, leaving you ready for Barbarrossa for Spring/Summer1941, right on time! Barring massive WA reinforcements to Malta before the Fall of France, this island ought not to pose many problems to you (if you notice a huge investment by the WA in this theater, build a bunch of transports and go for Sea-Lion, the British cannot hold both in force.) Turn one of your attack should see you sending major forces to Tobruk with all Italian fleets holding the central Med, covered by a least one fighter and as many tac, heavy or CAG air over them. Send the paratroop there as well, with an HB to carry it, positioned at Tobruk, the entire east coast of the med is threatened and the WA player will have to cover everything. Turn 2, either drive acros the desert to Cairo or at least advance right next to it, keep your trnasport link covered as above with fleets and air. Voila! It goes without saying that it is ALWAYS prudent to bring inf/art/mech/air combos for the CA bonus. Turn 3 has you moving on Cairo, all that´s left is the mop up toward Iraq. There are times when you can be bolder and land directly at Jordan or Syria, but this cannot be counted on. Seriously consider leaving normal air or CAGs in Sardinia, these will op-fire any fleets passing by and seriously impede any WA naval moves toward your transport link. I hope this helps, clearly there are variations on this theme, but hey, this is generally (more or less) what happens. Note that Yugo can and should be taken as soon as it leans allied, getting a trade agreement with them on turn one is a good way to provoke the pro-allied coup quickly.
