The year is 1940, and the Axis is invading everywhere.
As the Battle of England winds down and results in a German defeat, Adolf Hitler set his sights on the South and the Mediterranean theater. The Reich can deal a deadly blow to the British Empire by conquering Gibraltar and the Suez Canal. In doing so, it would cut the British supply lines and make the Mediterranean Sea an Axis lake.
The British cannot afford to lose both spots as much as it cannot lose Egypt and the Middle East. It will fight as much as it can to prevail and defeat the Germans, Italians, and Soviets. The Battle of Gibraltar and French North Africa is about to begin.
The Red Army is now dangerously approaching the jewel of the empire, India, and starts to move against Iraq after some weeks of hesitation and supply problems. An epic fight is flaring up in the wastelands of Balochistan and the Persian extreme eastern territories.
In the Balkans, the Germans want to finish their conquest of Greece by attacking Crete, the Dodecanese Islands, and Cyprus to make an eventual move toward Egypt and the Levant. Turkey will also have to make a choice, as the Germans and the Russians are giving them the option of joining or invasion.
The Far East is also aflame. Vladivostok is under Japanese control, and General Umezu has just defeated a major Soviet army. There is seemingly nothing to stop the Imperial Army from attacking Khabarovsk and thus cutting Zhukov’s line of supply. The Russian general continues his offensive and is now poised to end Japanese control of Manchuria by conquering Mukden.
And then America is done staying on the sidelines. Newly-elected president Franklin Delano Roosevelt begins his third term as the leader of the United States. Firmly saddled in control of the country, he is about to lead the country into the war.
The Axis triumphs everywhere, but it has not yet won the war.
Genre: Historical
