Delcaring war on Yugoslavia:

August 2, 1940

German troops invaded Yugoslavia today on the pretext of "saving" the current government forma possible western backed coup.

Eslewhere, Lybia gets a break in the blockade as the enemy fleet has to refuel. Italian navy puts to sea in hopes of interdicting some of those supplies.

Secondary invasion in Sinai foiled by the arrival of Indian troops! Still managed to kill supplies and 3 troops in transport. DD now moving to pick up more troops.

Wolfpacks in rotation. 2 packs put into new facilities on French coast, while a new third pack sails into the North Atlantic.

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.

The first of the Atlantic Wall coastal guns was built is this month, more to follow.

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.

The wolfpacks in French ports set out again to harass British shipping, while one sails south to blockade Gibraltar,

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...

Wolfpacks in the North Atlantic reposition to find convoys. In doing so we discover a destroyer base in Icland run by the Canadians.... MAybe next turn we'll raid it....

In the south Atlantic we raid Gibraltar's port with a wolfpack! We sink 2 cargos ships and lose 1 sub... not great but we'll tak it.

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.

The lone Italian DD is making it's way around South Africa.... maybe we shold stop in and say Hi!.....
