I was hoping to finish this finally, but looks like I'm too lazy to find the time to write the last session through still..
Necromancy...
Part II
4th of November 1941,
Brits are not giving up, and this picture shows well the current state of infrastructure in Egypt...
5th of November 1941,
If Infra is bad across the border, our supply ain't exactle perfect either...
...some Japanese and German transports are on loan to help with air supply (not sure when this happened, actually, or if I already mentioned it in this AAR, it's been a while, but they were such a help could as well repeat it).
7th of November 1941,
Italian forces are seeking to recapture the lost north african holdings via attacking along the coast towards Tobruk
9th of November 1941,
Soviets are still stubbornly advancing in persia, despite our air superiority, though they are taking quite some losses in process..
10th of November 1941,
Our troops have reached Tobruk and engaged the defenders.
14th of November 1941,
While Brits have abandoned few of their more hopeless attacks in Egypt it now seems likely they will capture a province or two...
24th of November 1941,
We have lost a few and Karf El Sheikh is not looking so good, but I'm sure the brave Italians can hold it off until reinforced.
27th of November 1941,
But at least these british troops are in rough shape, we do still maintain air superiority in the area as well.
1st of December 1941,
Looks like we might lose El Suweis, then loss of Suez canal would be only one province away, even if we have stacked it with quite heavy defensive force..
3rd of December 1941,
But luckily, relief is approaching from west, Tobruk was taken and the force has raced all the way El Alamein and now seeks to reunite with the command in Alexandria.
5th of December 1941,
Not optimal conditions for offensive, but possibility of trapping some British/Belgian troops at coast must be taken.
8th of December 1941,
Alas, the Brits notice their problem and manage to escape...
14th of December 1941,
Success, and the Allied forces are withdrawing from Egypt.
20th of December 1941,
My but those Soviets are stubborn, still advancing.
4th of January 1942,
Situation in Eastern Mediterranean, troops in Greece are actually Hungarian, who moved in to secure it in case British would break through Suez.

Epilogue
With the withdrawal of British force in Egypt, a stable line was drawn on the dunes, and only hot spot for Italy was now Persia, soviets fought hard in here, while our airforce finally stalled their advance and we managed to gain back most of the Persia we had lost in the next 3 months, it was a rather slow war.
Our allies did most of the fighting past this point, and I have very limited number of screenies of that, thus, we'll hop straight into the matter...
13th of November,
Germany captures Arkhangelsk, last soviet sea port is lost, and they finally give in, surrendering their European territory and some of the far eastern as well to the Axis. With their last continental ally in the war gone, United Kingdom and United States south Peace with the Axis powers, and a cease fire was signed, while lasting peace deal was not reached, the lines were pretty clear cut, Axis now controlled Europe and Asia, the Allies maintened control of most of Africa, Australia and Americas and the British Isles.
Situation before Soviet surrender.
Pst, Ederon, why don't we have nice animated map of this yet? :rofl:
