A slow go on this one... it is presently in the winter of 1940-41. A few general updates since the last post:
Finnish Front
The Red Army has abandoned all of Finland. It also withdrew behind the Lake Ladoga/Lake Onega River line. The front has remained static and without combat since that time.
Eastern Front
Both sides are preparing for an expected invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. OKH is still debating its strategy going into this campaign.
Western Front
The Axis had every intention of invading the UK as the bulk of the Commonwealth troops were in Morocco battling the Italians/Afrika Korps. To this end, the Battle of Britain was launched. Unfortunately, the Axis lose the air battle, scuttling plans to free the citizens of the UK from the tyranny of democracy.
Mediterranean Theater
The Commonwealth forces have made limited progress in Morocco. The opportunity for big Commonwealth gains here evaporated once the Axis repaired the rail line from Tunisia to Morocco. Well supplied, the entrenched Axis forces have been able to hold off the Commonwealth, who have been siphoning units from Egypt and the UK to support their intentions here.
The Axis have drawn down forces in Egypt on a proportionate basis and sent them west to the deserts of Morocco. However, the Great Wall of Egypt is still generally in tact and has thus far deterred any Allied advance.
At this point in time, the Axis forces are suffering winter shock (in the desert). The Commonwealth forces are attempting to outflank Axis defences in Morocco:
