England - Offensive in Italy - 09 Nov to 16 Nov 1941
09 Nov 1941: I have my two Armies advance into 'Japanese Russia' occopying cities and attacking a stray Japanese unit when possible.
I delete 1st Army's defensive line in NE Italy. There are enough Allied forces there to hold the line.I order most of my divisions to the southern end of the front....
....then order an offensive through Firenze to Lucca.
10 Nov 1941: At first we have 5 of our divisions versus three of theirs.
12 Nov 1941: We have captured Firenze and the Italians counterattack.
14 Nov 1941: We have more divisions arriving and the odds are now 11 to 2.
The fall of Lucca is imminent.
15 Nov 1941: I was hoping that would happen. There was a hint of it when Mussolini was deposed. We now have a Civil War in Italy.
I order 4 divisions to capture La Spezia and neutralize that pocket.
I then order 8 divisions south.
16 Nov 1941: The Italians sink a Greek Merchant.
The 5th Motorized Division has been deployed and is placed in training.
Harland & Wolff receives the Trait Gyro-Stabilized Mount.
I unlock the Air Doctrine Battlefield Support....
....and the Naval Doctrine Subsidiary Carrier Role.
I also unlock the Army Doctrine Branch Inter-Operation.
I order our forces to advance down the coast to Roma.
The Civil War makes our campaign much easier.
