Despite previous claims of lack of transport the navy has made possible a limited reinforcement of the landing operation against the Balaeric Islands – you can choose one of the following options to reinforce the operation:

a) One Churchill tank platoon drawn from the 36th Tank Brigade.

b) One Engineer Company

1) Pick one reinforcement option. See above, you are limted to only one option.

2) Pick an invasion beach, or several invasion beaches. You can land on one island or all three if you wish. I need to know this in order to start building the invasion map(s).

3) You can have considerable air support flying from Africa. Do you want your air power to focus on Close Air Support, Anti-Shipping, interdicting Spanish movement, "terror bomb" the cities on the island to break the enemy will to resist or somethig else...?
