As hard as it is to imagine Italy was more than an anchor around the neck of Germany calling for backup in greece. Ethiopia once a proud nation and only African nation to resist European colonialism.
Making wide use of air power allowed Italy to gain victory in the war of open plains and craggy passes. The viability of light armor and chemical weapons can be debated.
Italie’s dominance of the skies allowed them to act at will only challenged when the terrain favored the defenders. The entire campaign was Mussolini’s dream to reform the roman empire.
Acknowledging the true scope of the war and how it earned the title of a world war. Also like japan and germany showing that italy was seen as a threat and not just a punchline.
As always to go to interesting places and kill new and interesting people. of course i don’t see it as a high priority as its not really ww2. but it kind of is, explaining why germany wanted to be allied with italy more than just to cover the southern flank.
Showing not just the glory of the liberators but the struggles of people fighting for the freedom of their homelands. WW2 was two large parts the spread of evil and struggle against the dark which should not be forgotten.

Tanks
Tankettes
A crazy idea but what about a battle without tanks, crazy i know but some battle had no planes, no tanks nothing but artillery and infantry. just an idea but might be fun to see how a ‘limited’ battle could work.
The idea of a br zero, i know crazy but br 0 1 br 2 3 br 45 would give new players more room to breath. as well as added weaker guns planes and tanks that would struggle to fight br 2 3.
level 0 rider (horse) level 0 tank (armored car) level 0 rifle (single shot/conversion). going into the past would be much better than going into the future.
I want white people to shoot and be shot by brown people to long WW2 has been a ‘white’ war. outside of Japan best known powers US (WHITE) USSR (WHITE) UK/CANADA/NZ/AUSTRALIA (WHITE) FRANCE (WHITE). we know china was involved but how many know they fought. yes i know countless asaian countries fought, india fought but common ww2 history very white.
yes Japanese Americans, the red tails (African Americans fighter pilots) the Gurkas for the uk and many more. the wind talkers (native american code talkers), philipino soldiers but watch any ww2 movie and that is ww2 history for many.
