What you talkin’ 'bout!?!
Italy is a great idea. :D
A&A Europe
1 Northern Italy, Sothern Italy, Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco, Algeria. Maybe Germany could also divvy up Greece, Austria and Yugoslavia between the 2 axis.
2&3 Make Sicily worth 1, North Italy worth 5, Germany worth 12
Italy IPCs=12-16 Germany IPCs=32-36
4 Giv them what Germany normally gets in their countries except for a man on Sicily and 4 inf in North Italy
For their navy giv them 1BB, 1 dest., and 1tranny in tyrhenian sea, and MAYBE a sub in the adriatic
5&6 Use the japanese peices and control markers (or make your own markers) for the italians. you could buy a set of pieces on ebay or somewhere and paint them some other color such as blue or yellow or purple
7 I think Italy would go 2nd
