No worries. Axis Reinforcements sent.

German radio experts intercept a strange message from Wavell's HQ. To their astonishment, Wavell reported to London that after Cairo fell to the Germans, the Egyptian territorials simply disappeared into the desert, and he had the strangest feeling that he was somehow in the Sahara desert, in Anglo Egyptian Sudan! He remembered some faint voice saying something about 'rebasing unit digression'. After a few minutes the feeling was gone, just as suddenly as it had appeared. London HQ sent back a terse message that should he somehow manage to escape his present predicament, he was ordered to report to the nearest commonwealth medical facility for a psychiatric evaluation.

As stated in the message, I figured it out. I had to use a text editor that allowed me to insert a German umlaut u as the second character. File resent and should work for you now.

That is a really weird intercept. Perhaps they been in Egypt for to long and encountered the space aliens that build the pyramids. Eh? Lets order Rommel, and suggest to Graziani, to allow General Wavell a honourable surrender, and then see if we can arrange an exchange against someone. Anyone at all. No need to burden our psychiatric wards with the untreatable.

Should a bug report regarding the Wavell HQA be made?

Voluntary Resource Lending:
Same; Germany -> Italy: 7 resources total -> 6 Res + 1 Oil
Modified; Italy -> Germany: 1 BP

Axis goes first if we win the initiative, no re-roll.

Save sent.

Nov/Dec '40
Impulse #3 (Axis)

No declarations of war. Japan align Siam. No US reaction (5).

Land: Japan
Combined: Germany, Italy
Naval:

No Port Strikes.

Naval air:
Germany + Italy:
NAV3 -> West Med 3-box
NAV3 -> East Med 3-box
NAV2 -> West Med 4-box
NAV2 -> East Med 4-box

Naval moves:

Germany:
2 SUB (Bayonne) -> CVB 2-box

Italy:
6 CA + 1 CL La Spezia -> East Med 4-box

Three areas for Axis to search in. First up is the East Med. Germany add one FTR2 to the 1-box.
