Decent tech teams (in particular Vickers-Armstrong Ltd.

Powerful allies, in particular the United Kingdom.

I recomend investing in heavy fighters in the early game to help cover the large African and Mediterranean Sea Zones. Once the Med is secure, it should be relatively easy to use your first rate army to push back the sparse allied colonial garrisons (it will be good to have smaller and mobile because once you push into central Africa the front can be very long). I like to have 1-2 carriers, a few battleships, some cruisers and a few dozen destroyers. After this, the Brits will likely attack with their capital Med fleet and likely be defeated. Once France falls you, send out your entire fleet to a sea zone you have radar in (this will give you an advantage in spotting) while simultaneously using fighters and naval bombers to cover the area. During this time I like to build up as much radar coverage as possible in the Med. To do this I recomend waiting until the capitulation of France to avoid losing ships against their formidable Mediterranean fleet. To do this you need to secure the Mediterranean so you can send supplies and troops to North Africa. As italy you should focus on winning the war in Africa as soon as possible. Please post individual guides under its own subheader.Д«uild 2 dockyards and then build only civilian factories for 18+ months.

Put strategies and guides here to help others play this nation. The Air Force have about 300 fighters and 400 bombers in 1936, but it is not modern. The navy is rather strong with 2 battleships, 8 heavy cruisers & 80 smaller ships, but is not modern either. Tank Destroyer / SP-Artillery / Armored AA Variants Italy has 39 divisions in 1936, but while that looks strong, it is due to them moving to binary divisions earlier, so each of their divisions has less punching power.

The Italian technological superiority pretty much guarantees that they will win the war. Italy starts at war with Ethiopia, which is something they will be focusing on for the first months of the game. Italy would become a member of NATO after the war, but lost the region of Istria and the Dalmatian city of Zadar to Yugoslavia, and all its colonies excluding Somalia.Д«rief overview of nation's technological capabilities. Significant partisan actions took place in northern Italy. The royal government remained in control of the south, declared war on Germany, and was eventually re-established as the government of all of Italy shortly before the end of the war in the spring of 1945. Badoglio and the king escaped to Brindisi without giving any order to the army, which surrendered to the Germans without putting up a fight. The new royal government of Marshal Pietro Badoglio signed an armistice with the allies, but most of the country was quickly occupied by the Germans, who established a puppet government under Mussolini in the north, the Italian Social Republic (also known as the SalГІ Republic, from its headquarters). The Allies started to invade Italy in the summer of 1943 and Mussolini's government collapsed.

Italy's war effort went poorly, resulting in defeats in Greece, North Africa, Ethiopia, and the Mediterranean Sea. Despite the Pact of Steel with Nazi Germany, Italy did not join in the war until June 1940, planning to get a share of Allied territory with the defeat of France. Italy had completed conquests (Ethiopia and Albania) prior to its entry into World War II.
