August 30, 1940

German troops continue to push into Yugoslavia almost unopposed. While the Western Allies have accepted Yugoslavia into their alliance, it seems to be a hollow gesture the same as Poland...
Yugoslavian partisans have stared to appear behind the lines. These were quickly and harshly dealt with.

In North Africa, Italian forces are on the advance after supplies start to flow again. The Italian navy, after interdicting some supplies, gets ambushed by the RN and loses several ships! They back away to lick their wounds. Italian sub pack set up to attack...

The Italian forces in East Africa crowd onto the last destroyer and set sail for home.... some get left behind because of lack of space.

September 27, 1940

German troops march into the Yugoslavian capitol. Partisan resistance picked up this month with no less than 5 hot spots! Most were hunted down and shot. This could be a real problem if it keeps up....

Next is Greece....

More Atlantic Wall artillery gets placed. This is really expensive and I'm not sure how many more I can afford...

In the Med., the Italian sub force goes scouting and finds the RN Med. Fleet at anchor in Alexandria! With not enough AP left, or balls really, they back away and wait for next turn.
