How about after an unsuccessful attempt at the invasion of Madagascar, British Empire forces are forced to retreat towards Mozambique. French Vichy aided by Japanese elements decide to hand out a little payback and pursue them into Portuguese colonial territory. You would then probably have Portuguese as traditional British allies join in the fray on the Brit side - or not, that's up to you.
I think I've got it... Hitler gets sick of Mussolini's repeated screwups in the Med, and so he sends a contingent of Italian troops South to invade Africa. The Brits send an emergency force to try and stop their advance. Seaborne assault, lots of straffing and inprovised airfields in the bush... but that is actually the scenario of a Zimbotho campaign I have in mind...
Might do something with US and Brazilian troops against a German and Italian expeditionary force, something resembling Torch...
But first things first, I have a few projects depicting real events to finish first
