I annexed Spain in September 1938 after several invasion attempts, that took many months I finally got ashore. Once ashore victory was inevitable, I piled in the divisions and piled on the bombs.
Then came the lull, I sat and waited building my forces of motorised infantry and infantry. One other change was Germany kept to their promise in Munich, Czechoslovakia was left alone! But Germany invaded France in May, and I waited 'til June before I got involved. But I didn't assault France - instead I assault Gibralter and took it. Then I invaded Eygpt ... and after some long fighting I finally took Suez Canal. I had trapped a whole host of Royal Navy vessels in the Med to be wiped out by my planes. The RAF was shot out of the sky by the Luftwaffe and Regia Aeronautica ... and my tactical bombers and CAS smashed the British out of my way in the desert.
It's now 24 March 1941 ... Germany has attack Yugoslavia, who took my ill defended Albania from me. But Italy has Malta, Cyprus, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and is poised to invade Iraq. And I'm pushing down East Africa to my troops in Ethiopia who are fighting a desperate battle against the British there.
The U.S have also joined in, two heavy bombardment groups flew from Aden to attack Italy but didn't make it across the Med. Unescorted they were caught by two groups of interceptors and shot to pieces.
