In more bad news, the Allies are on the offensive in Africa.
We'll have to pull back to Misurata and set up defenses there.

We begin by advancing on the ground and occupying the empty ports.
Next we carefully fly in a couple of interceptors and bombers.
In the ensuing air battles the British do have some success but
as far as we can tell there is only a single active British interceptor.
This once again should allow us to use our paratroopers.

We drop an Italian para north of Hull but there is a full corps in the city.
So we scale down our ambitions for the German paratroopers, they will simply help
our panzers advance.

The entire Luftwaffe is called in on the "Cairo Garrison". The odds
aren't great but speed is of the utmost importance.

Success, although I think we risk getting one of our air units overrun in the Allied turn.

Actually not such a great success as the panzers do not have enough OP to advance after combat.

I forgot we had yet another paratrooper in France, it drops and we continue our attack.

Sadly two attacks fail to force a retreat.

Here is the situation at the end of the turn:

At this stage I'm starting to feel confident that we can blitz all of Great Britain before summer is over.
Three infantry corps are railed in from the east.

Meanwhile in Algeria, the Italians are taking over the defense.

Sadly we cannot evacuate from Tobruk, nor bring in reinforcements to Africa,
as all our shipping is busy in England. Such are the sacrifices one must make.
We should be able to spare some next turn.

Turn 48: June 20, 1941

Spain joins the Axis. U-boats sink 6 merchants but take 4 step losses.
As predicted our 3rd Tactical is overrun.


In the UK we destroy some weaker units and push between Hull and Manchester.
A couple of interceptors are flown out as bombers and more infantry are brought in.

In Libya we will try to hold Tobruk one more turn.

Germany builds a panzer corps and Romania a division.
I think that will have to do for Germany, we will have a total
of 12 panzer corps!

Spain sets reinforce to max, it has a lot of weak units.

Turn 49: July 4, 1941

Once again our operations are hitting Allied morale! First it was the u-boats,
now it is the paratroopers. Just wait until the Russians meet Mr Panzer!

Tobruk comes under massive assault. We lose 10 steps to 15 for the attackers.
Time to evacuate.

In the UK the British are falling back. This is still our top priority.
We intend to bypass garrisons and rush north as fast as possible.

The "Middle East garrison" puts up stiff resistance, but once it shatters
we are free to blitz Newcastle which only has an extremely weak garrison.

We rush north, dropping one more paratrooper. Edinburgh is just out of reach,
the odds are only 2-1. No further troops are brought in, I think we have it under
control.

The British leave Gibraltar. We'll let the Spanish and Italians garrison everything here
once we occupy Portugal.

Germany builds the 7th Interceptor.

At this point the strategic situation looks good. We will have to secure the British
islands and set up a defense in the Eastern Mediterranean. Then we can focus on our
forces for the spring 1942 offensive...

Turn 50: July 18, 1941

Germany and Italy both get Assault 42, Italy also gets Warships 42.

We keep our momentum going into Scotland, but by now there are strong forces
in Glasgow, including an armoured corps. We also fail to eliminate the British 1st HQ
under Auchinleck.

Our troops are tired and I fear we have to bring in even more reinforcements. The reduction of
Hull has begun.

In the Southwest we take Portugal without any Axis casualties.
The UK is evacuating Algeria.

All Axis fleets head out to raid.

Finland disbands its air force and builds a large corps. It sets upgrade to max (250).

Turn 51: August 1, 1941

Raiders sink 14 merchants.

A counter attack puts the 1st Light Panzer out of supply. I'm surprised by
how easily they won that battle, I was hoping we'd put up more resistance.

For some reason the 1st Light Panzer cannot be supplied by air (why is that?),
so we'll have to consider it lost. At least we finally eliminate the HQ and paratrooper.
Infantry is moved up and considering the stiffening resistance, we bring in more reinforcements.

The tactic now is to use our panzers until they are exhausted, then bring up the infantry.

Things are quiet in Africa, next turn we will assault Algiers.

Turn 52: August 15, 1941

The 1st Light Panzer surrenders. Germany gets Interceptor 43 tech.
Raiders sink 23 merchants. The German fleet is hit by a devastating
carrier strike.

In the UK strong reinforcements are brought up, and we should be ready to seize Glasgow
next turn. Paratroopers take Dublin (shouldn't they have a garrison of some sort?).

In Africa we easily take Algiers, and Benghazi is evacuated by Italy.

Axis submarines are moved north, ready to blockade the few remaining British ports.

Turn 53: August 29, 1941

With massive support from the Luftwaffe, Glasgow finally falls and our objective
is complete. Next I do something I almost never do, attacking the British Armoured unit
at 1-1 odds. Our panzer units take massive casualties, but once we bring up the infantry
we dislodge the defenders. At least the attack on Liverpool goes surprisingly well.

The UK now has no supply source, two minor ports that we blockade and Belfast (size 6).
Infantry and air units will be left to try to take these, but it is not a high priority.

Hungary builds a division, Yugoslavia builds an army.

Turn 54: September 12, 1941

The US joins the war. The UK seems to be evacuating the British isles.

Only cleanup remains in Scotland - we even manage to bump the armoured unit out of Aberdeen
and it may well become trapped.

Germany builds the 8th Interceptor. Our manpower (96% start of this turn) and production is doing really well.
