@Colonel-Mustard Yeah,7 out of 8 times you would’ve been able to retreat as planned.Some famous military guy once said"No plan survives contact with the enemy"If USA and UK were going hard after normandy and denmark,that should give Italy a chance to grow strong and help stop the western allies.

Guys
Anyone know are we going to see Italy owning Ethiopia in Europe 1940??
If so, how many infantry are you expecting there?? -
It should start as italian owned and controled. Probably there will be 1 or as much 2 inf at setup. With much luck:1 inf 1 art
-
I Hope So!! This would be historically correct.
-
There is also a territory (according to larry) called British Somaliland
That implies either there will be a regular Somaliland controled by Italy, or an “Italian Somaliland”
There should be a 2nd, inland territory controled by italy as well called Abbysinna
A 1 IPC value for both, convoys start raided by UK of course. 1 INF on each, perhaps 2 on one and 1 on the other, to recreate the 3 pronged Italian attack into Kenya, the Sudan, and British Somaliland

The '40 map of Italy should look something like this:

Good, detailed information on Italy’s activities during WW2 is (relatively) tough to come by, as it was clearly the most minor of the major powers, and most writers prefer to study more successful military regimes. What is known is basically a catalogue of failures:

Yah the Italians had a sizable force of 300,000 in Ethiopia( more than it had in Lybia) although it was defeated relativly easily.

Does Anyone knows the total country we have in the African continent?
I would like to guess the intial set up of Italy in East Africa. This may help out the Jap to attack India and more fight in the Indian Ocean.
