As always feedback and comments are welcome!
- Reconnaissance in Force: I got my new orders and was appointed to command of the newly formed Deutsches Afrikakorps.
- Ras el Mdauuar: I have permission to attack and seize the heights of Ras el Mdauuar. If we succeed here we are in an excellent position to break the defences of Tobruk. Without Tobruk a further advance into Egypt is sure to fail.
- Brevity: The English are counterattacking in force near the Border of Egypt in the Region of Sollum and the Halfaya Pass. As most of our units are tied down in the siege of Tobruk, only thin forces are present to contest their advance and I have to rush to their defense.
- Battle Axe: Sollum and the Halfaya Pass are under attack again. The British have fielded massive reinforcement, but this time we are prepared.
- Dash to the Wire: The British are striking at Sidi Rezegh and surrounded our border defenses at Sollum. My forces will have to rush to the defense and at the same time prevent the Tobruk garrison from braking out and linking with the relief force.
- Second Offensive: Because of our desperate supply situation I was forced to order a full retreat towards El Agheila. The English are on our heels and they will try to outflank and encircle us before we get there. I hope we can use the raging sandstorm to our advantage.
- Gazala Line: We are finally ready to strike at Tobruk again. The British have neglected the defenses of Tobruk and instead chose to massively fortify the Gazala Line. So my plan is to swing around the defenses at Bir Hacheim and go for Tobruk directly.
- Malta: With the fall of Tobruk Operation Herkules finally has been authorised. We are to seize Malta and thereby take away another important British base of operations in the Mediterranean. With Malta in German hands supplies to Africa will be secure and we can support a further advance into Egypt.
- Alam Halfa: We cannot stop now! We must reach the coast line and the British rear and complete their envelopment. Our best chance will an onslaught from the south along the Alam Halfa Ridge. At the same time our Italian allies will attack in the north and keep the forces there pinned.
- Suez Canal: The pyramids are in sight! We are about to launch our attack on Alexandria, Cairo and most importantly the Suez Canal. The British defenses supported by the river nile and the delta will be formidable.
- Palestine: Our new key objective is to secure the oil pipeline between Kirkuk in Iraq and Haifa in Palestine. Several key pumping stations have been taken by Arab volunteers and we must move quickly to releave them from British attacks.
- Syria: It seems our friends in the Abwehr have gotten into a bit of trouble and need our help. One of our planes went down near Aleppo in Syria. On board was a senior Abwehr agent running a delicate operation in Turkey. Abwehr wants their agent back before he can be interrogated and reveal what he knows. We will send in a special unit paratroopers to capture the airfield near Aleppo, release the agent and bring him by air to Haifa.
- Iraq: The invasion of Iraq is our next great task. Apparently the British plan a large reinforcement of their air presence. The key to its success is the airfield at Baghdad. An advanced communications center is being built there that will coordinate these larger air forces as well as an array of air-defense radars. We will have to destroy this center promtly to hamper the British efforts.
- Basra: The Allies have retained a foothold in Iraq by controlling the port of Basra on the Persian Golf. This foothold must be removed if we are to clear the way for our attack into Persia and make our Iraqi friends secure in establishing a new anti-British government in Baghdad. My objectives are to take several targets in the city itself and the Shaiba airfield. Since the British have turned the city into a fortress that will be far from easy.
- Persia: The time has come to end the Anglo-Soviet occupation of Iran. The Persian corridor has proved a key route for sending Lend Lease supplies to the Soviet Union. The quantities of supplies that have been delivered are vast and have been an enormous asset to the Russians.
- Caucasus: At last we have the opportunity to assist our forces in Russia and unify our strategic purposes. The conquest of Persia has opened a gateway to Russia through the Caucasus Mountains. Russia's southern flank is now vulverable and her great oil fields are open to attack.
- Arabia: Intelligence informs us that the English managed to build up a considerable force in their East African dominions and intend to retake the Suez Canal.
- East Africa: With Arabia secure in our back, the task now is to defeat the second prong of England's attempt to recapture the Suez Canal.
- On the Road to India: India beckons! The final great jewel in the British Crown is nearly ripe for the taking! However, before India can be gained the approaches must be won.
- British India: It is a historic moment. We are about to invade India and by this dismantle the British Empire.
