Default Re: A challenge for RetLT: Invasion of Spain

Sorry for not responding sooner. Been away for a few days.

I think that I would want to land near Valencia and Barcelona on the west coast to quickly seize harbors. This would also allow a strike into southern France before the Germans have time to fortify the area.

13th Airborne and 7th SAS go in first to secure bridges and cut off reinforcements to the beachheads.

US landings are led by 86th Infantry. Their lack of combat experience is not an issue as resistance should be light. Follow on forces are the 2nd Cav, which can quickly break out from the beachhead.

British landings are led by 3rd South African division with the 42nd Armored and 1st Australian Armored Brigade for the follow up break out.

The Gibraltar garrison, the Norwegian Brigade and the remainder of the Australian units can break out of Gibraltar and head for Malaga and Sevilla. Perhaps our Russian allies could contact some of their friends in the area to help with intelligence and sabotage.

Looks like this will be fun.
