Difficulty: Field Marshall
Targets:
Priority one: Defeat the Soviet Union
Priority two: Hold back the Western Allies in the air battle in France and in the sea battle in the Atlantic
Priority three: Capture Malta, gain and hold the naval superiority in the central Mediterranean Sea, capture and hold huge parts of North Afrika
The plan
Soviet Union:
We are prioritizing Heeresgruppe Mitte on the forced march to Moscow. Moscow should be captured before end of 1941.
In the north the Finnish will start to attack Leningrad, weakening the defence until Heeregruppe Nord will encircle the city from the south. It is planned to capture Leningrad in 1942.
In the south Heeresgruppe Süd will approach east, capturing Odessa, the Crimea and finally reaching the gates of the Caucasus in 1942.
Western Front
The Kriegsmarine, will disrupt the Atlantic shipping lanes with submarines and strategic bombers. We will repair our Atlantic fleet and transfer the core of our North Sea fleet through the English Channel to the Atlantic.
In France we will deploy several Flak stations and modern fighter squads to prevent the British to get the air superiority in France.
Mediterranean Battlefield
Malta will be captured by destroying the strong fort with tactical bombing in combination with a wide range artillery from Sicily. If necessary we will transfer our best Stuka bomber pilot Rudel from the eastern front to Malta in winter 41/42 to speed up the destruction of the British defense.
The Italian Navy and Airforce will clean the sea between Tunis in the west and Tobruk in the east from British vessels.
Rommel’s Afrika Korps has to repel the upcoming strong British counter attack. If possible Tobruk should be captured later. An attack an Egypt is currently not planned.
