good morning jack

 















Control the Mediterranean

by holding these military sites.







G I B R A L T A R


So long as Britain holds Gibraltar the Italian fleet

can never escape the Mediterranean.







P B Y   C A T A L I N A


Constant patrols out of Gibraltar makes even

slipping the Strait underwater hazardous.






M A L T A


Malta-based RAF pilots strangled Rommel's Afrika Korps of supplies.








S U E Z   C A N A L


Besides Gibraltar, Suez is the only way out of the Mediterranean.

Now the British have stoppers at both ends of the Sea.







T O B R U K


This critical North African port changed hands multiple times.






T A R A N T O


Prelude to Pearl Harbor.

The British catch the Italian fleet napping

and sink several warships.







S A R D I N I A


Most of Britain's commerce runs through the Mediterranean.

Italian pilots on Sardinia work overtime to cut it off.







S I C I L Y


Three Italian airbases make British passage past Sicily near impossible.







T R I P O L I


Without Tripoli North Africa is lost to Hitler and Mussolini.







T O R C H 


American troops are green, half-trained and undisciplined.

They need somewhere to learn from their mistakes

without causing truly catastrophic consequences.
