1940 - War preparations
I concentrate forces for attacking Portugal (offensive is planned in Spring 1941).
Foreign events:
Allies and France have lost continental battles in West Europe. French front is collapsing. BEF has hold tightly but is also going to be excluded from the continent.
In other parts of Europe there are little events: stalemate in North Africa, Greece took Albania from Italy and British still manage to hold Narvik in Norway.
1941 - Battle for Portugal
I started war with Minor Nations in March and conquered all Portugal in the same month. Ponta Delgada was taken in April. Casualities: 2 Light tanks.
Then I concentrated all my armor and planes to Tangiers in preparation to attack French North Africa.
Foreign events:
Axis attacked Jugoslavia in April and Soviet Union in June. Jugoslavians managed to defened Beograd and Zagreb. Against Russia Germany was successful only in Central front (reached to Riga-Vilnius-Pinsk line).
In Western Front Allies have got upper hand. They liberated Paris and most coastal cities. Also United States entered to the war in December.
In North Africa there are indecisive battles in Cyrenaica and Egypt.
1942 - Battle for French North Africa
I started war with France in April and conquered Rabat and Casablanca in the same turn. By July all big coastal cities of French North Africa are conquered and Spanish army reach to the border of German occupied Tunesia.

In August I started offensive against French mainland and captured Bordeaux. Battle for Toulouse was great failure. I lost 3 Light tanks, Panzer II and bomber and emptied the city. But I wasn't able to capture it and next turn Germans took the city and after that British took it from Germans. It was big loss because Toulouse has good production and strategic location.
Foreign events:
Jugoslavia was wiped out by Axis in February. Axis also recaptured Albania and hold Allies in Greece under strong pressure.
In East Front Russians pushed back and restored mostly pre-war frontier. Only Brest-Litovsk, Lvov and Rovno remained to German hands.
West Front was dominated by Allies who liberated most cities in East France. Reims, Besancon and Metz were all French cities which Germans had in the end of year.
In North Africa the front moved forward and back and ended in the same place where it was in the beginning of war.
