My 1.05c Hands-Off Test

The Axis has a real hard time defending their coastlines at several points during the war. The British took, and retook Hamburg three times until Vichy fell, and New Zealand took Elbing for a few weeks as well.

I was overall impressed with the African threater, the British pounded the Italians right until Misratah and it broke into a stalemate with the Italians only controlling Tripoli and Misratah. Boths sides kept 30-40 divisions in those two provinces but failed to attack any further.

With all of those divisions down there however, New Zealand easily took Sicily and there was only a couple Italian divisions on the entire Italian peninsula. Their invasion was cut off when Germany annexed Spain (who joined the Commitern years earlier) and took Gibraltar though.
