Can you get the Suez and Med Strategic modifiers? And if so, it might be worth it to go for them, as they are worth it. And taking out Vichy might also be worth it.

So much troops but unable to advance? there are usually like 6-7 divisions in that whole theater.. Jeez, Italian AI overestimating British and Iraqi forces..
Clearly the Italians are playing to their strength: standing around doing nothing. They did it against the French, they are doing it in your ports and they are evidently doing it in the deserts of North Africa. At least they are consistent...
With your fleet in tatters, how did you manage to send troops across the Med? A mad dash and a prayer, or was there a more considered approach?
Helping out the Italian AI in Africa is a very good idea. If the British lose the Suez, that'll benefit you as well.
Where are you losing ships? Can you cut convoys down / make new trade deals to avoid sea zones?
Just be glad you received land from the Vichy event. You can thank me for that, as I made the vanilla Vichy event that awards some land to Nat. Spain if Spain controls it when Vichy is formed. Italy gets something extra too if it manages to grab more land than it historically did.

Probably coming today. I've played up until the end of 1940 (not much happens), and want to play more, but must force myself to update before I do!You're welcome Actually, the original event was made by myself, but the version you're using was editing by (I think) Kriegsspieler.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next update.
Just read trough the whole are and must say it's a very interesting one. Will surely be following!
The best of luck in North-Africa, but it seems your corps combined with the already quite substantial forces Italy has deployed in that theatre should be enough to take Suez.
But taking on the Russian bear might be another proposition...
A bit of a shame that the Italians get Egypt, but worth it if you have that soft underbelly of Europe locked up safely.
If you can get Iraq and Persia under Spanish control, it might be a good move to be prepared to attack up towards Stalingrad when the war with Russia starts. Getting the Red Army trapped in the Caucasus mountains might be more effective for the Axis than having the Spanish Army literally stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heer in Poland or Romania.
And of course, invading the UK is still on my to-do list for Franco! Hehehe...
