Under the new rules of v.3.00 axis units cannot leave the Mediterranean unless they capture Gibraltar. I tried to land German units into the vacant airport beside the fortress but it wouldn't let me. How does one capture Gibraltar?

you cant land from the sea onto an airfield - you can para onto it

otherwise you have to wear down and amphibious assualt the land hex

thanks for the heads up, but I think it'll be hard to wear down since there is only one sea hex available for bombardment.

you need air units or land units in support - air from NA is possible if you reject vichy

I guess if you reject Vichy, Spain might join the Axis then it might be easier to capture Gibraltar.

you can also just invade spain old school!

You could also invade Portugal. Easier to take out than Spain & air support makes taking Gibralter so much easier.
