Ah, well I thought Yemen and Oman was the surprise... perhaps you're working towards an attack from the south against the Caucasus oil fields? Or you just looking for a supplies of oil from the Middle East? Whatever you are up to, at least you now know you've found and destroyed the main strength of the British Army.
Bad news everyone, it looks like my graphics card in my notebook has decided to die. Hard disk looks undamaged but next update will be delayed

let's hope you can save your hard disk, for all the info you might have
I've got an update regarding my notebook, its graphic card has passed away and I am awaiting new one which should arrive at the end of next week. Meanwhile little spoiler about the surprise I have for you.
See those empty ports in Bournemouth and Lowestoft? It would be shame if someone accidentally did paradrop here...

I will provide update hopefully at the end of next week as notebook is still repairing. This screenshot is the only one I've uploaded before graphics died.
How many paratroopers do you have? I wouldn't expect them to hold on their own though; they won't have any support brigades attached to them!
Hmm... and Cardiff looks like it's only defended by an HQ! It looks like the AI sent everything it had and more to the south of Spain. A tempting opportunity indeed!

I have plenty of transports available and transports from port to port are hopefully fast enough to slip through Royal Navy while being unnoticed.
My thoughts exactly, I've seen to much British divisions shatter in Spain and during fall of low countries and France. UK is weakened at the moment.
Then it's time to attack! and if so weakened, then you have not to leave the Eastern borders unguarded
Yes, I've accidentally did Sea Lion. Screenshots are present on the notebook which is still in repairs and when it gets back I will provide update or two as there are quite a lot of them.
Preparations for Barbarossa.
13. Unternehmen Seelöwe
As you've seen in last screenshot England is empty, ridiculously empty due to causalities it has suffered in previous months mainly in Spain during futile attempts to rescue Gibraltar. 2 ports are completely empty and another is guarded only by lone HQ brigade.
Intelligence also shows that only 4 screens are present in UK ports. I suppose that majority of Royal Navy has been trapped in Med or is sailing somewhere near Singapore.
Therefore it was decided it is ideal time for strike on England.
In late hours of 9th September a division of German paratroopers quickly secured port of Bournemouth. German forces awaiting in transports near Bournemouth immediately landed there and awaited further orders.
Plan for operation Sea Lion is following. German armies consisting mostly of Guderians panzers on steroids will quickly blitz through plains of southern and central England slicing it multiple times into pockets which will be destroyed.
At the moment number one priority is securing ports of Bristol and Portsmouth as Bournemouth port is only level one and its throughput is not high enough to hold whole operation Sea Lion, should Germans fail at this task and quick blitz through England would be doomed and Englishmen will be given time to build trenches.
Good news for Axis. Order in Yugoslavia has been restored and its government ask for second chance to join the Axis which is given to them.
German panzers are rushing for so crucial ports. No more forces will be shipped as supplies and fuel are limited resources in this phase of Sea Lion.
Panzers are slowly getting out of fuel but the port of Bristol has already been secured and Portsmouth is about to fall.
Supplies are flowing through every available port and additional German forces have arrived in England.
Battle for London has begun and it looks like defenders already lost hope in their fight against Wehrmacht. Battle for London ends few hours later in Allies withdrawal from the city.
German troops marching victoriously through London.
First pocket has been closed.
Assault on Birmingham, another important UK city, and has begun.
Fall of London had disastrous effect on British morale and national unity.
Fist pocket is nearly cleansed of all resistance and forces used in shattering it are now preparing for another slice.
Slicing of British forces in two halves has once more begun.
Nearly all British forces present in British isles have been catched in second pocket and light tanks have now greenlight to ride towards higlands.
German forces are also still fighting in Oman.
Second pocket is about to collapse. Defenders are taking heavy beating while trying to repel attack of panzers.
Second pocket has been destroyed and remnants of British isles are defended only by few divisions.
Light panzer division of general Kurt Haase are about to enter Glasgow, last city required to show British that there is no hope for them and surrender is only option.
Finally victory, Allies have been beaten to oblivion and peace will enter to German Reich one more time.
