So war in Africa is going good. Italians took Egypt and are heading South. I took Suez - woot for my one transport attack! - and that area. Since we were doing so good, Iraq shat in their pants and left the Allies, and now grants Germany and Italy Military Access. What about me? I mean, like WTF is up with that? So...I liberated Palestine and Jordan Instead, Syria having been formed from the French colonies over there. So the Mid East is very pro-Axis at the moment. It would have been odd liberating Israel for so many reasons.

Hungary recently joined the Axis too, so this is how the Axis stands:

Germany
Nationalist Spain
Italy
Hungary
Romania
Slovakia
Syria
Jordan
Palestine

I've moved my Russian bound forces into Romania I believe, since they have no Tanks to speak off and i am hoping it is enough to keep the Southern Flank Alive.

My Stuka's have raped so many units now that they have nearly 100 pts in Experience, and their leader is at least level 5 experience now too.

My lonely transport should have 4 friends in the next 4 months or so, but now I dont think I will need them. I'll move my lone tank division to Russia, but the 3 Inf can stay to guard the Suez. So yeah - i control both ends of the Med Sea.

When we go to war with Russia, Finland will surely join the Axis, and hopefully my Nationalists can match those Russkies despite having a very very long trip to get to Russia.

Japan annexed communist china too - added it to Nationalist China. I imagine the Japs have some pretty pretty industrial capabilities now with such a large 'puppet' nation plus the outter territories they claimed. Will be interesting to see if it helps them at all against the US, and how Russia will react to them if Japan joins Axis...
