Summer 1942
Army Group South pushes out toward Maikop and Stalingrad against weak Soviet resistance. No picture in the North, but this situation is a stalemate before Leningrad and Moscow. In North Africa, the Royal Navy severely damaged Axis supply and forced Rommel to continue to fall back. In Algeria, the combined French, Italian, German Army in Oran under Messe continues to hold a defensive line against the allied invasion of Morocco. Axis u-boats harassed Allied shipping to Casablanca keeping Monty's army on a shoestring supply line as well.
