North Africa 1944 a “What If” scenario
The time is early 1944 and the German Afrika Korps has beaten the British after a careless mistake by General Montgomery brought the British 8th Army to a standstill and ultimately defeat outside of Tripoli. For all of 1943 the Afrika Korps fought a delaying action while moving back east into Egypt and controlling the Suez Canal. The front has split Libya almost right down the middle. Both sides are dug in and seeing what the other will do. Time is not on the Allies side.
As such the war has entered a new phase in North Africa. Germany is consolidating their hold in Egypt and building supplies for a possible restart of offensive operations against the US, Britain and Free French forces. Germany has also linked forces along the southern front in Russia and forced the Russians to pull back to Stalingrad. In the process they defeated the remaining British troops in the Middle East. Finally Stalin is screaming for the US and Britain to resume operations in North Africa or he will negotiate for a separate peace with Germany.
