September 29, 1940:

- Last italian battleship destroyed by 3 UK battleships, another one bombards a german army in Greece. Italy has no navy any more, only 4 italian ground units left on the map :D

- UK Med squadron enters Iraq (DoW) to get the necessary oil for further operations. UK tank occupies one of the oilfields, 3 armies and 2 corps approaching Baghdad.

- UK carriers train at the former spanish mine (now occupied by germany - tank moved out of range).

- Spanish forces move towards Bordeaux and cut off again the german task force in Spain, this time together with the HQ. Brest garrison lost to ground and air attacks, but this saved the live of a spanish str 1 army in Bilbao -> reinforced to 8. Fresh troops from Africa arrive around Madrid.

October 27, 1940:

- a german bomber in Albania revealed its position by attacking Warspite. Too much german air in the area, so the UK naval task force retreats towards Africa

- Baghdad under attack from 5 sides and down to str 3, will be surounded next turn and fall in 1-2 turns

January 5, 1941:

- spanish mine reocupied by the last spanish defender. The remaining UK forces operate to Gibraltar. Spain will surrender next turn.

- The brave Trident sub fullfiled its task to stop the german blockade runners in the channel. Several UK fighter squadrons from England descent on the german ships, hidden UK battleships join the battle: The hunt for the Bismarck was successful. After a hit in its steering by a heroic swordfish fighter the pride of the german Kriegsmarine got sunk in the morning hours by the fire of the hunting british battleships smile.gif .

March 2, 1941:

- Wavel and 2 armies + 1 corps operate to Tobruk and block the possible landing sites

- In the channel Prinz Eugen tries to flee east, but is not fast enough :D . 2 UK AFs and Resolution battleship finish it off. A german Type IX B sub in Brussel port also got some AF hits

- Axis invest a lot of mpps in the naval warfare, reinforced most or all understrength/damaged ships and even starts a new ship building program with italian subs. These mpps will be missing somewhere else... smile.gif .

-Germans troops in Spain rushed to Gibraltar and destroyed the English corps there that did not have time to entrench...

-In the Channel U boat sunk the English battle ship that sunk Prinz Eugene.

-In Africa, the massive British gathering around Tobruk did not impressed the landing troops... Corps have been landed on each side to prevent them to run away... Some more troops about to land... 2 English corps, 2 armies and Wavell are in Tobruk.

The Royal Navy in Med is hidding in Suez it seems...

- Some bombing on trade boats around Malata from Sicily based Luftewaff did not woke up the RAF that is still sleeping there...

- Tobruk: UK armies destroy a landed italian corps east of the city. Connection to Egypt reestablished. Since the transports along the coast are no feint and 2 more axis corps landed in Africa, 2 canadian units operate to Tobruk to strengthen the defences.

13 April 41

- In the channel, U boat moving back to Baltic found a drifting UK transport boat not far from Hamburg... They stoped to rescue them...

- Since Tobruk is English, England suffers a major immigration problem... People are leaving their bad weather countries to settle in Tobruk, the new El Dorado... So Tobruk is packed with Canadians and English now... Landing plan delayed, already landed troops move into the desert to avoid the crowd...

- Yougoslavia invaded by Balkan troops... One corps destroyed, Belgrade to fall next turn...

- Gibraltar taken.

April 27, 1941:

- U-Boot not ready to take over all passengers + cargo (bombs/shells from UK air and battleships): sunk due to overweight (Axis navy now only consists of one last german surface combat ship - probably at str 1 if not reinforced + the new built italian sub)

- Allied settlers in Africa demand for more territories since they have not enough space. 10 combat units are now packed in this narrow landscape. Some of them move west to convince the 2 lonely axis corps to provide more space.
