Next you can repair your forces again, as we will jump to Eritrea, April 1941.

Our target is the Italian port city of Massawa. Our Indian allies will attack from the north, while we will deploy our forces in the south. The city is ringed by Italian defenses, which we will have to breach in the first phase of operations. Once we have a foothold, we will advance further.

This one may take me little longer since I have lesser time for now.
Remember - at later stages of Abyssinia - to make Mount Keren (this battle could generally use a depiction in battle mode. Maybe I will do it in some time).
And one more mention that I forgot previously: please be careful when setting starting sides. Many casualties I suffered in last battle died because routed units run straight into enemy rather than back to the marshes.
I am switching into British equipment for now, finally motorizing my support forces and attaching recon squadron that will make a bulk of latter armoured force.

PS: IMPORTANT! My deployment area is to the left. Its quite short. Should it be like that?

Allright, got this done.
Generally casualties are acceptable (though could be lower). Most were produced on mines, Italian fire was mostly inaccurate and was silenced quickly with my MGs and artillery. I was pushing hard to gain momentum and in fact to capture entire flag area in one battle. For this I was not prepared for strong Italian counterattack that stalled my advance and now my troops are in need of reorganization. But afterwards fight can be continued and fate of the defenders is sealed.
Let me send a messenger if they want to surrender, maybe I could capture some interesting stuff. If not: they have no chance. Indian resistance was weaker and their formations massacred defenders easily. The airstrip's control is still disputed, but there is no chance Italians will hold on open ground.

Ok, carrying on.

After their defenses were breached, the Italians lost heart and surrendered. Columns of POWs marched past our lines into captivity.
Next we are shipped to Syria, in order to wrestle control of that colony from collaborationist forces. Vichy Legionaires and Colonial troops defend the line in front of our position. Their defense is centered around an old Ottoman desert fort in a commanding position.
- Deploy your forces south of the indicated line
- Break through the Vichy lines

Allright, made my refit. A tank company is attached to my core force, thus completion of battalion-sized combat group is mid way. Rest of the infantry will remain footmobile, I intent do equip them with halftracks no sooner than Tunisia.

I have implemented Cruiser IIs so far. In some time I will upgrade my ACs to gun equipped.

Meanwhile, I made my foothold. I reached nearly the area I wanted (that small gully). Instead I reached crossroads hundred meters away. I used different tactics this time, let infantry capture small village first and tanks and recon came second hand, to exploit the breakthrough. Spam of AT guns sadly stopped this advance, but most of Legionnaire were routed on the way. It is also good to have fire superiority with tanks and see these poor ACs and tanks going over my guunz ;c
Nice refreshment after bloody 1940.
My casualties also seem OK, surprisingly no trucks were destroyed.
I take it in next scenario I should advance on towards the fortress and I will try to expand my area of attack. I would love to wait till darkness for attack, unless HQ expects otherwise. It it goes for assault itself, first I need to push closer. If I have to capture that fortress, I will need my men ready and reorganized.

I think you send me the old savegame from the previous scenario by mistake.
