I only played Italy once and one thing I noticed is how hard building anything is, and Italy's supposed to be a major. Is it possible to build enough naval forts for it to actually matter?
There is never a reason to be in a faction with Italy. Ever. I have lost several games because of Mussolini, but I have never, ever seen him do something helpful
That literally happened to me yesterday on RT56. Was playing as Falangist Spain (not in the axis yet) and sent volunteers to a Italy controlled Caucasus. They haven't capped yet because they have control of the North of Italy and the Caucasus
Fr i played as hungary and me germany and romania ALMOST defeated the soviets but i look back at europe. Oh boy! The british are at my border thanks italy!😃
@@Mentallybadlyor it’s vice versa with Italy doing all the work and Germany is trash it happen to me when I decided to play Italy for once had to carry the axis on my back
Problem with italy is that they are in africa, defend germany and help them push against soviets, also divide their attention to naval combat, when they have just too many disadvatages. Not to mention their country is so small and can be navaled everywhere.
I just bought the game and play with a mate coop. He plays germany, I Italy. So far we restarted 3 times, because I wasnt even able to secure Etiopia... Today I watched a couple of hours off guides and started a solo campaing and played until summer '37 and even got all the important milestones earlier than the dude making the guide. Tomorrow I will see, if I manage the balkan war.
@@britishbritishbritish the british kicked my ass in the mediteran sea... and without supply I lost my grund war im africa... but at least the balcan war was succesfull. We start a New game today or tomorrow, implementing what we learned the last try
Bud should have put his entire army on garrison. Probably wouldn't have changed much though seeing as Italy probably lost a bunch of equipment in Ethiopia and lost most of his army to allies in africa
If the allies still have North Africa after 42 Italy is almost guaranteed to cap. It is simply too much shore line and angles of attack to do anything about it
Fun fact Italy actually needed too hold Stalin grad so red army doesn’t surround the German armies + Italy attacked Greece because Mussolini thought his army was weaker then Yugoslavia and also because Greece was corrupted lmao imagine even Italian soldiers joined German troops because they saw how bad the commanders were
Italy is actually nicely balanced for historical purposes, but the focus tree is broken if you don’t have all the DLCs/just the free ones. Being able to just puppet Spain and Portugal through a focus saved my Italy campaign by making Gibraltar an easy invasion and then trapping the British Navy through an aggressive push to the Suez. then the South American alliances one is also crazy. Brazil and the rest of SA as faction members is broken lol. So did just baiting the AI into encirclements by El Alamein also helped lol. Then you play the Sultanate of Aussa and just hold your capital till 1939 and the Allies come in to save you 😂
@@DijonDillan When you quite literally have to expend an half an AG trying to prevent Italy from sinking itself. While this rarely happens because I tend to cap the UK early, it's just so frustrating how useless Italy is

@@aaroncabatingan5238You don’t really need naval forts. 10w shovels are enough to garrison ur ports and coastline

Sometimes they make good offensives in Africa taking morocco, egipt and sudan

Yeah. And civil war taking half of your shit and part of your country, just after being slightly touched doesnt help.
As a France/UK main, Italy is a boil on Europes underside.
Rule No. 37: always defend your border with Italy as strongly as if they were not your allies but your enemies (10 forts in the Alps should be enough)
this is an exact representation of how Mussolini lost the war for germany
How a Poland Main, it's a absolute victory.
*WarsawUprising.mp3 starts playing*
Usually when i play germany, i could always trust italy, they are always so helpfull for me.
Italy is an ally cat you thought was fixed until it surprisingly gives you a whole new litter of problems.

Germans learn never trust Musso
3 secs later: "Kingdom of Italy declared war on Kingdom of Italy"
Italy: Oh a naval inv- **explodes**
I just got this and Italy has consistently started WW2 after trying to invade Switzerland
It’s so over for Italy 💀
If the allies still have North Africa after 42 Italy is almost guaranteed to cap. It is simply too much shore line and angles of attack to do anything about it
This is why when I had more combat equipment I gave 40% of it to Italy so that they wouldn't fall into the hands of the allies so easily
But then they cap and Italy AND the equipment get captured by the allies

Italy is the only nation that has shit garrisons while also not contributing to any front
The garrison is weaker than the French before the war😂
