Its the only spot I can really get at. France and Spain look weakly defended, but I'm to scared to sail across the Atlantic in any numbers. Brave little destroyes do scouting missions along the Axis held coastlines.
Now that Suez is open, how does the Med look? You could always land in the south of France, rather than Normandy-Brittany, if the Germans somehow missed the Mediterranean.
I tried some adventures in western med with the intention of hitting Vichy or Spain. Kept on running into large amounts of Kriegsmarine battlecruisers, but I have Majorica and I'm building up airbases on it with the intention of future fun and games.
Fueling the Balearics could be convoy-intensive... glad it's not HoI3 in that case. Oh well, looks like it's the long march from Karachi to Finisterre instead.
Good news. Bhutan is liberated and joins the American crudade against fascism, and fluffy bunnies!!!!
Egypt, Palestine and Jordan decide they don't want to be members of the Axis anymore. Allah is not with the Axis today.
The USN encounters a surprisingly modern fleet from Vichy France. After a day long skirmish Grand Admiral King sends the venerable Bearn to the bottom of the ocean.
With the eastern med seemingly secure, it is time to greet the Italaians. Overwhelmed the Italians fall back and the army sweeps through Greece and crosses the border into the mountainous regions of Bulgaria.
Manstein is thrown out of Birjand using the eternal charge tactic. One of several battles the USAF once again gets sent in.

Ah the Italians, they can always be relied on to make life difficult for Hitler. America's got a foothold in Europe much sooner than I expected and with the Axis defending their far-flung contests hopefully central Europe should be fairly unguarded.
Another holding battle out of Karachi. An increasing amount of German troops are massing on the borders. Patton is doing his best, but reinforcements or retreating are both considered. Leaving our new ally India is unacceptable though. What to do?
The Greek excursion overflows into Bulgaria and they are annexed. A brief foray into Romania is atempted but large amounts of Axis troops start to counter attack. A slow retreat back to Athens is ordered. 2 brave Canadian divisons are accdently eft behind to fave the music. They died bravely.
In order to keep the Suez canal open a third campaign takes place in North Africa as losing the canal would be inconvenient at best. Italian forces are pocketed. Fighting in Greece, North Africa, Persia and Jordan is spreading the army thin.
Every now and then the USN comes across a maraudering German fleet. The order is givin to flee. Scouts report that the west med is another death trap similar to the Atlantic....
Th last stand of cut off Italian forces. The Greek expeditionary force (GEF) manages to reach Tobruk, having being withdrawn from Greece.
Patton still holding the line in another limited counteroffensive. He requests reinforcements to be sent from North Africa but they're busy ATM and would only be tied up anyway.
new plan finish off an existing front fost, before opening another. More Italians pocketed by swift moving armor. The GEF, has left Tobruk for parts unknown as a new cunning plan is made. A plan so cunning you can put a tail on it an call it a weasel even!!!!

Good job taking out another Axis power, Germany's going to become more and more overstretched if it has to do everything by itself.
Zhuge Liang thats the plan along with nibbling away at the Kriegsmarine until I can force a landing somewhere. Just waiting on X12 modern battleships to finish building.
Whiskeycrat My heart bleeds for him. Really.

While things were going reasonably well the USA decided to start turning the tide in the Atlantic deathtrap. Bombers based out of Bermuda and Grand Canara (sp?) spend months on patrol. Locating a large pile of submarines whose design is now a decade old they swoop in.
SIck of the continuous battle ragin on the border with Karachi, a new plan is called for. Operation Weasel is lauched. Forces redeployed from the middle east thrust northwards while slower infantry units plod behind and cover the rear so they don't get cut off. India contributes around 17 somewhat obsolete divisions but they are still usefull on the defensive and to clog up the ground.
A small force of Germans land in the rear area of India and have been hiding out for months. Not wanting to get stuck between the foces of Germany and Vichy France the India army is ordered to launch a counter attack. Despite having the enmy surrouned the attack fails due to rough terrain and poorly equipped and trained Indian forces. Tactical bombers are reassigned to help them out for the next attempt..
Fast moving units move to complete the encirclement of the Germans in Perrsia. Overpowered and outnumbered 8:1 the German front lines collapse as the army races into Mashad.
To avoid the German-Vichy France meat sandwich naval landings have been taking place in Indochina as the army advances in Persia. Vichy Fench forces are now cut off in the wilds of south east asia.
Operation Weasel succeds in cutting the Germans off and follow up assaults seek to eliminate the pocket. 18 German divisions try and stop the US army but only slow them down. Indian troops also contribute to the offensive and continue to hold the line in Hyderabad in the east.
