A challenge for RetLT: Invasion of Spain

[wulfir]

OK, RetLT - you are invading Spain. Your force is based in French North Africa. The French have agreed to deal with all Spanish possessions in Africa but will otherwise not participate in the invasion.

1)You have the sealift capability to attack with one division in the first wave. Your airlift allows you to attack with one parachute and one glider battalion in the first wave - if the invasion takes place within range of the transport planes based in North Africa. In addition to all other forces you can also use the No 14 Commando for a seaborne landing, maybe as a spearhead.

2) It is belived Spain will fold after only token resistance.

3) The American units are generally greener than some of the Commonwealth ones, but can afford to take more losses. The Americans can draw on more manpower while the Commonwealth ones will have to fight with depleated units if they take losses

4) The following operations in Spain demand a larger, intact, seaport. You do not have any artificial harbours.

5) The Spanish defences are alerted but not considered strong anywhere on the coast. The Spanish navy or air force are not belived capable of disrupting the invasion.

6) I need to know where you attack and with what units?
