Commander,

This our first landing in the European theater.  Actually, it's the African theater, of course, but it's the first step to our eventual planned liberation of Europe.  

So I'm counting on you to lead the invasion of French North Africa in this new operation code-named Torch.  The British will be off to the east assaulting Algiers.

The Vichy French are demoralized and fighting with old equipment.  I don't think that they really have the stomach or the desire to fight us, so hopefully they'll fold pretty fast.  But don't assume that they will fold automatically.  Guard your flanks and use your reconnaisance.  Our planned air coverage will be thinner than originally planned, so use your prestige accordingly to configure your forces.

Good luck.
