Italians aren't very good at hockey.
You're surely not going to try and take Rhodes against those kind of odds?!

I would agree, attacking Rhodes seems unwise.
Would've been fun if the Italians had happened to sail out of Rhodos at that point, knocking out your fleet and a considerable part of your non-existing manpower at the same time
Attacking Rhodes may seem a risky proposition for most but surely not for the Streamroller of the North! Onwards!
*ahem* Well, maybe not but action packed updates nonetheless. Good to see some more lands nabbed with Corsica falling to Canada, some more technological progress made and an epic voyage completed.
"Then we remembered that Alexander the Great never met the French. "
Sounds like France is becoming your next target. Or will you shift sights to mainland Italy?
Subscribed! Excellent work so far, I can't help admiring your fortunate navy that is still alive after so many fights against a major power. Also, the adventure in Italy has been most entertaining. Go Canada!
This is turning out to be an addictively good chronicle of the war. Who knew that Canada was such a capable military power, but also relegated to watching through the windows while the "Big Three" decide the fate of the world. I think it's time to show them what Canada is really capable of. Perhaps a limited invasion of a major power? Italy perhaps?
Incidentally I'm playing my own game as Australia and pulling off some of the same tactics, though not as successfully. After some ill-conceived actions in Europe and N. Africa, I now find myself invading Axis Siam to try to push the Japanese out of SE Asia. I'm having quite the opposite problem you are - plenty of manpower but little production to put it all into use. Too few divisions is always a problem I have to work around in my battles, so I must choose them carefully.
Why not pull off a Dieppe style raid into Southern France or Italy? That could divert Axis manpower away from the Eastern Front and give you some interesting intelligence on what your next target could be.
Just don't attack a fortified town/harbor without bombardment or air support when the enemy know your coming (that was the many lesson learned at Dieppe after all)
I re-arranged my build queue, and added more convoys when these are done, but the real question here is this: will Canada's African Offensive be stopped before we even face the enemy troops?

Evidently you've never experienced the Canadian Arctic. Thanks GB. No Northwest Passage, what do we do with the land claims we have...give it to the colonials.Of course not! With her invincible armoured cars a small and unimportant matter such as a complete lack of supplies will not stop Canada from gaining yet more land!
I'd say no... if Darlan isn't down there, you can pull out everybody you have except for one or two brigades that can live on local supply, & send the rest someplace you can still run a Convoy to.
I agree with eqqman, except it might not even be necessary to keep any garrison in Vichy's North Africa. They rarely revolt and Canada needs every man in Europe later on

Canada spearheading the attack on Germany? Well we did it in WW1, no reason not to do it again :laugh:.

(No I have never experienced the Canadian Arctic either, but Northern Manitoba is still a good representation in my view excepting the fact that there are trees and the bears are brown not white). Still not a place I'd enjoy when the wind howls at -40.
The serious lack of convoys must be remedied, if Canada is to take her rightful place as "Number Four" on the Allies Top Twenty Countdown.
Note that, despite having stopped in at Gibraltar for "Re-base"-ing, the land we captured became Canadian owned, not UK. So my earlier worries were needless.
