As said, time is moving on and Barbarossa will soon be here. Hitler orders the invasion of Yugoslavia as the Italians are making a complete mess of Greece...

The attack was basic. Belgrade remains untouched - but at least I can start diverting units to the East - which looks ridiculously thin...

The British Western Desert Force is destroyed by the Afrika Korps working alongside the Italian infantry as Rommel continues east...

The garrison at Banja Luka is destroyed and Belgrade is gradually reduced. Two German Corps are transferred to the East and the Hungarians will be joining them as soon as possible. This will leave Italian 2nd Army, with some German units attached, to continue into Greece.

In the desert the New Zealand Corps hold onto Bardia - seemingly with orders to defend to the last. I hope to skirt around the town, although my tanks need R+R.... Meanwhile Rommel's advance recce forces shoot up an RAF airfield.

Yugoslavia surrenders - which is nice . A few more units are sent East. But the real action is in the desert where the Kiwis have gone the same way as their Australian cousins. The Mother of all Battles Radio in Rome reports triumphantly "there is not a single British soldier in Libya".

While Mussolini congratulates himself on what the Germans achieve in his own colony, the Germans have moved on. By-passing the British VII Corps at Sidi Barrani, Rommel orders his mobile elements forward to Mersa Matruh, where the British deployed the 7th Armoured Division. A combination of anti-tank guns and tanks sees the British armour destroyed; next stop the heavily fortified El-Alamein line....

Finally for this turn, the U-Boat arm achieves their first success for months in the North Atlantic using Wolf Pack Hammer.

Italy - It takes almost 50% of the Italian MPP to get some bombers to North Africa.


I tend to send them there at the start of the game, and I do not pay for it. Fly to Sicily, fly to N.Africa, fly west to the front. Takes 4-5 turns, but saves a ton of cash.

Going to be interesting to see how you do, but are you playing with build limits or "build as many of each item as you want"-option?

Thank-you - that is a useful tip. The Italians just can't afford that kind of expenditure.

I am playing limited builds.

To be honest I am not expecting much as this is my first game with the Axis, but we'll see

So what happened? The U-boats managed to hit a troop transport, or did they lightly damage a fishing trawler? Or did they sink a battleship?

Having broken through part of the El-Alamein line, the motorised infantry of the 104th and 115th Rifle Regiments, sought to attack the rear of O'Connor's line, meanwhile Rommel's armour attacked XIII Corps guarding the approaches to El-Alamein itself. Further back at Sidi Barani, Italian Infantry, supported by German non-motorised artillery, sought to reduce the defenders of Mersa Matruh.

But first, its back to the desert. Rommel's tanks open up the way for the fast moving motorised units of the Afrika Korps to take the town of El-Alamein. Initial reconnaissance reports indicate that there does not appear to be a whole lot by way of infantry and armour between the spearhead units and Cairo.....

While in Greece, the rugged terrain means that the going is slow - even for the Panzers....

Army Group North

AGN centre on Kaunas as their initial target - and take the Lithuanian capital after an intense battle that involved the bulk of Ritter von Leeb's forces. II Corps takes Vilna as the anchor for their right wing, but on the left wing, the 4th Panzergruppe runs into the Soviet 14th Army and suffers unnecessary, and ill-afforded loses.

Army Group Centre

North of the Pripyat Fedor von Bock's forces complete the surrounding of the Bialystok pocket. In order to wrest the fortress of Brest-Litovsk from Soviet control, the town of Bialystok has not received attention, but the mechanised units to the north are both almost wiped out.

Army Group South

The enormity of the distance that Army Group South have to travel is made clear here. The opening moves are okay - with yet another Soviet fortress falling to the Wehrmacht. But the Germans will want to quickly get beyond Lvov...
