vernal river
as italy you can build 4 fleet carriers
I built 3
I almost messed up because the french navy started chewing up my fleet early on
but once they capped my navy basically destroyed the rest of what the british have in the mediterranean
so even though i don't have the suez or gibraltar i can do whatever i want unopposed in med
vernal river
what year?
joined early 1940
misty fossil
interesting
vernal river
but they had far more numbers there
french and british fleet deathstacked and destroyed alot of my older ships
at which point i just held my navy at port until germany finished up in france. by then alot of my carriers finished and were ready for action so i managed to replace some of capital ship losses
then i just set them on patrol in central med and watched them demolish the british fleets

If you just use tanks to break the AI, then your infantry will be just fine with engineers as a support company, later anti air if your air is abysmal
