* Operation Sea Lion. It consists of two different operations. The first half (Operation Sea) is an invasion of the Spanish Levant, with landings in Murcia and Alicante. When German troops in southern Spain leave to face the invasion, the second half, Operation Lion, is activated. It consists of an invasion of western Andalusia, an excellent tank country. Extra points for making Erwin "MagnificentBastard" Rommel think "OhCrap" when he realises he has been outsmarted.

* The Battle of Zaragoza. The Allies only have Spanish and British regular troops, militiamen and armed civilians. The Germans send the Wehrmacht and the SS to take the city. The Germans thought it would take them 10 days, starting from March 28th, to win. They use those 10 days (April 7th) just to surround the city.
