An update on my German campaign. It is now 1941, Wilhelm II is the glorious Kaiser of the German Empire which has turned "Paternal Autocrat" (this was as close as it gets to "Absolute Monarchy" which is the one I was going for...) and I have 2 very capable armies lead by skill 6 Field Marshalls, one just finished the conquest of Yugoslavia, and the other just completed Operation Zealion. The only trouble with Zealion is that the Americans have landed 27, yes, 27 divisions on the island just north of the coast of Scotland, while I have 10 of my own divisions with arillery, AT, and AA sitting on the other side. So neither side can produce a decent landing, and I can't seem to destroy enough transports to cut the supply chain.

Italy is still refusing to join the Axis, I managed to have Nat Spain, Portugal, Vichy France, Japan, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia, Argentina, Croatia and Greece in my alliance.

The SU is at war with Italy and the Allies, and leaves me alone for the moment, I am planning to Invade Sweden as I already have Finland, and then Denmark which is still neutral and has a fairly decent relationship with me (ah, well, no hard feelings, wrong place at the wrong time...). Italy is also tempting seeing as they are at war with Greece, I already have my Yugoslavian army in the Area, and I need their N. African posessions to hit Suez...

Diplomatically I am still trying to get Lebanon and Syria to join the Axis, even if to keep the brits distracted in Iraq, although they have less than 50 ICs left. The great enemy is the US now, with 346 IC to my 340. Argentina has annexed PAraguay and Uruguay, and I'm thinking of giving them something else to do by hitting Chile...

One question though: How in hell do paratrooper landings work? I managed to do it once to capture Danzig, but it doesn't seem to give me the option anymore. When I right-click a province having a loaded plane selected it just gives me the "None" option! I did not spend months researching and building them for that!


Anyway, cheers!
