Indeed,. you are correct. Realistically not only should there be no beachead but there should probably only be a one hexside border with the mainland rather than the two on the existing map (the German plan only committed a small Corps, a single small Corps, as not only was that pretty much all they could supply, but it was all that could assault across the isthmus), and/or The Rock should be a Sevastopol level fortress.

Of course, if some players are happy to play Risk WW2 make it the situation as it stands an option ...

We will see how it plays out. I took quite a while to think about this and how to fight it as the UK. It takes a lot of effort by the Axis. Spain is the easy way. Committing a lot of axis forces for invasion means very unlikely 1941 barb and a lot of oil use.

If they go conquest or Vichy collapse Allies get more ships to intercept.
