@caesar-seriona Historically Mussolini declares war when there is no doubt Paris is going to fall to Germany.In a G40 game Germany often combat moves through N.Italy and NCM air units to S.Italy,both of which require Italy to be not neutral.
So to keep Italy neutral until UKs turn Germany would need to retreat from Paris{leave it for Italy to take perhaps}and NOT enter Italian territory G1.
Global Victory Conditions

What would be a good alternative to the OOB victory conditions (6 VC for Pacific or 8 VC for Europe (Axis), or Tokyo, Rome, AND Berlin (Allies))? The OOB victory conditions are honestly so stupid because Germany/Italy could both fall completely and Japan could take Calcutta, Sydney, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Manila and win the game. I feel that is just completely unfair to the Allied player(s). It’s as if the game was designed to be like two simultaneous games of Pacific and Europe rather than one game of Global, and that bugs me.

There was a bit of discussion recently over here…

…about what the victory conditions ought to represent from a realistic viewpoint.
