Vichy is a must in my opinion, even if you get the worse case situation and get nothing. Southern France being Vichy blocks Italy from being conquered through France. This is a good reason why you may not want to take Switzerland as the Axis.

just side note for those who don’t have easy access to the map while they are posting or reading. if Italy successfully captures turkey and gains access to the black sea they are only 1 territory away from both Stalingrad and Moscow. That would spread the superior income of Russia quite thin, even if the Italian attack isn’t incredibly powerful initially. The added benefit though is that Italy wouldn’t have a Russian navy to contend with so they could focus on a land invasion force. Russia has 48 Ipcs not taking into account the money they would lose to Japan and Germany on the first turn. Germany has 36 base just from the Axis minors, if Germany successfully conquers denmark and norway that would bump Germany up to 44 plus the income of karelia and leningrad which puts Germany to 48. that’s not including any paratrooper drops you might do to secure your flanks. I’d say this is an incredibly viable option. The only shortfall is that russia can just start throwing infantry at you turn one, so while it may be viable it is certainly not going to be easy.
The issue is then, can you win the game by doing this?

i’ll let you know when i try ahahaha. in the mean time has anyone actually tried it?
-
yes, but with Italy entering the war against all allies, the French took Rome, and Paris and Moscow fell the same turn. Warsaw fell a turn later. The allies still won.

Does this mean that it is likely for the US to be at war with Germany & Italy before UK/France?

Blitzkrig (german first attack) means you can attack twice in one turn.
Does this include naval units? -

If Germany’s opening move is to attack Russia, Italy would join the axis and thus only be at war with whoever Germany is at war with. Italy would not necessarily get murked.
-
Naval units gain the benefit of Germany’s double move on the first turn.
