German troops drive down the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. French troops put up little resistance elsewhere in France. Italy joins the war on the German side creating Axis Europa! (Regime name actually changes.)

Our wolfpacks get spotted and deside to split up but stay on convoy route.

Sneaky British suspect Italian involvement in the war and ambush supplies going to North Afirca!

German science comes through with more research:

Turn 11 score.. nice increase for taking France:

New action cards for the Axis:

Vichy is established right away.

June 7, 1940
With the Vichy reigme setup, German troops redeploy for the next phase of the war.... the Balkans! Also need to increase the Soviet border garrison.

Norway is reinforced and routes to Swedish iron are worked on.

Good hunting for the wolfpacks off the coast of Canada. Some destroyers spoted so position adjusted a little to keep them guessing. Also the USA has desided to interfer by send aid to Britian. A wolfpack is move to intercept any that might come out of Boston.

With the Regia Marina still disorganized and short on supplies the supply problems in N.A. are getting worse. Troops are moved closer to Tripoli to lessen this effect. (Tripoli is now a production center. The tan roads are secondary and are poor for supply movment hence the attempts to move it by sea! And yes those are French DD's off the coast... must have escaped before Vichy..[:@])

In Italian East Africa (IEA) no opposition means we can move out! DD's can carry troops so some go for a ride to try and take the port of Suez. This will hinder troops and supplies coming from India... if any....

Score for turn 12:

July 5, 1940
Preparations for the invasion of Yugoslavia are complete. It will take place next month. Continued to strengthen border with Russia and build up the Atlantic Wall.

The Swedish seem to have folded to international pressure and are refusing to give us the iron ore! (Bug... no supplies for Germany[:@])

Atlantic wolfpacks have limited success this month, nothing from Boston.... so reposition and hope for a better month.

Libya still cut off from supplies! But we have some revenge... 2 British subs are sunk off the coast of Tirpoli by the Italian airforce!

Outstanding success in the Gulf of Suez! Not only did the Italian DD destroy lots of supplies and 3 infantry trying to get through, but we landed troops in Suez, captured the port and reboarded the DD! Next stop Aqaba!

Yet another breakthrough for German scientists!
