January 1942 - fictional
Cairo will be one of the hardest nuts to crack, since the city favors the defender. The british have largely evacuated the city of civilians, and there are reports of heavy defences being errected. So the OBERKOMANDO of the WEHRMACHT short OKW (HQ) didn't shy away from any costs to smuggle a heavy 80cm Railroad motar throught france, spain ,french northafrica, right to the assembly area in Tobruk. Some parts and components where even transported by submarine neutral freighters and flown in by Gotha transporters. Gestapo and secret service tried to provide a heavy curtain of security. Now, you have to clear the railroad tracks leading through the capital of Egypt. They have to be under your control in 11 days. Also division Pavia needs more time to reach the city, but should arrive in about 1 week. Air comand can spare very little additional airpower at the moment but will send You some italian reserve squardrons bolstered by a few of ours too. Keep in mind those squadrons fly outdated planes and green pilots with only a few weeks of training. You also have to protect the heavy motar with a maximum of airdefence. This weapon is priceless, please make good use of it.
