The CW position in Egypt has suffered a bit because of lack of actions. Or perhaps I would be truer to say that CW mismanaged the action limits, and that Egypt suffered for it. Two corps units in Suez blocked reinforcements to return to Suez during the last end of turn. And this impulse they blocked transporters sailing into Suez with reinforcements. They should, of course, had been moved out of Suez long ago.

With one land move used in Greece, the two moves over in Egypt creates a very thin defensive line.

The only comfort for CW in Egypt is that CW has a local air superiority over the Cairo region.

Land actions across the board.

Naval Air: Germany flies the FockeWulf and crummy German bomber at extended range to the 2 box of Italian Coast.

Germany rails engineer to Western France. Infantry Corps to Brest, other Infantry Corps to Warsaw.

Germany and Italy press the line in Egypt. Germany heads most units East toward USSR border but Rommel and a mech and armor Corps head deep into Austria. Italy moves their territorial to the Anglo Engyptian Sudan Border.

Germany rebases a Stuka onto Balbo in Greece. Italy moves Saetta behind the front line in Egypt.

Turn sent.

Intelligence indicates that Yugoslavia will most likely not align themselves to the Allied cause, so the German buildup there has begun to dissipate.
