More Allied forces for Greece and Crete

An early end to the North African campaign releases British and French forces for Greece and makes Crete harder to isolate.

Notes

An early end to the North African campaign leaves British and French troops available when Italy attacks Greece. An Allied victory is not guaranteed because Greek dispositions and the German response still matter. More formations could reinforce threatened sectors, preserve part of Greece as an active front, or evacuate the Greek Army intact if the campaign failed. Fewer campaigns against Vichy territories in Syria, Madagascar, and elsewhere also reduce the commitments competing for those units.
