Many moons ago I saw an article, about a 1st ed Europe variant that included Italy. They reworked the board, and used Japanese pieces for the Italians. I can’t find the article online, and I’ve tried searching for info here. I rolled sixes. No luck.
Does anyone recall this, or know of any info on it? Thanks ahead of time for any help.
You should of rolled a D1 die. IL might know. See if he replies.
@GEN-MANSTEIN That’s true about the die roll. Like how I roll d4s for my fighters. ;}
I know the game you speak of, I even own a copy. You want to search for Axis & Allies Europe Italy, sometimes referred to just as Italy (which really helps a person find it). Fortunately, I’ve some links for you.
There is an entry for this game expansion at BGG: BGG Italy page. You will also want to look at this review for Axis & Allies Europe Italy. The rules for Italy are in Italian (as the developers of this variant are Italian), BGG user Moshe Callen translated them into English as a part of his review of this expansion. If you are further interested, the original file in Italian is still available at: http://xoomer.virgilio.it/giocolab/Strategia/AA/Italy.htm.
As for playing this game, all you need is a copy of A&A Europe, some pieces for the Italian player (A&A Europe 1940, either edition, work well here), the rules, and the setup. And away you go.
I hope this helps.

@Midnight_Reaper Thank you so much! I have all the pieces I need. I’ve been curious about this for years.
