*Operation Mortar* - Complete - Rhodes and Cos captured and secured.
*Operation Brick* - In progress - The I Airborne has landed at the Iraklion airfield with no resistance. It was a clean drop without scattering. The HQ will land in the follow up. The XXX Corps is ready to set sail, as is the XIII Corps. The Royal Navy's Mediterranean squadrons have been pounding the defenses, while the RAF and USAAF are fighting to control the skies. I've disbanded the "Torch" sea transport, which gives the Allies 30,000 sealift for 2 turns. That will be enough to get the first waves ashore and, hopefully, cleaning up the remnants of the defenses. We will see...
EASTERN FRONT...
For the first time, the Russian front is taking a back seat. Operation Snow White has been a resounding success, as the Finns are now negotiating an armistice, while demanding the Germans leave their nation. Once the transition is complete, the main job will be finalizing the rail repair to boost supply, and setting up a garrison force to guard the ports and airfields.
