Allies France & U.S.A., versus, A.H. Empire. The former needs to take over her home waters(with the second largest land forces on the board, AH is practically invasion proof), while the latter can wreck havoc in French Med. area. If the Allies continue to shuttle forces into off the coast of Trieste, even with AH building new naval forces, the Axis will be contain on the seas.
Round One: A.H. Empire builds sub., BB, & fighter. Moves BB, C, &, transports to off Marseilles(BB damaged due to mines), versus, Fr. BB & 2 transports. Losses C & all Allies. Lands in undefended Corsica & Marseilles a trooper.
France builds 2 BB, &, moves from Brest to S. France BB & transport, &, Burgundy garrison into Marseilles of 6 troopers & 2 guns(destroys defending AH trooper, Marseilles is uncontested).
U.S.A. builds transport & 2 sub., moves BB & C to off entrance to Med.Sea to
join Fr. fleet.
Round Two: AH builds 2 BB, moves fleet of BB & sub. & transport to off S. France, with no losses due to mines(transport returns to home waters). Combat 2 BB(one already damaged) & sub. versus FR. 2 BB. Losses all but damaged AH BB.
FR. builds BB & fighter, and, Brest fleet arrives off S. France. BB goes off Corsica and shells & destroys defending trooper, landed trooper takes over island.
US builds BB & C, &, moves BB & C to off Italy joining Fr. BB. Also 2 subs. & transports arrive to entrance to Med. Sea.
Round Three: A.H. builds BB, C, &, fighter, to off Italy goes 2 BB, sub., transport, & , fighter, versus, Fr. BB & US BB & C. Losses only both AH BB survive(one damaged).
Fr. builds BB & 2 subs. Moves to off Italy, 2 BB, fighter, & loaded transport(trooper & gun), versus, AH 2 BB(one damaged). Losses Allies BB & fighter, &, Axis all.
USA builds transport, C, &, submarine. Arrives Central Med. Sea transport(trooper & gun) & 2 subs., C from East Coast arrives S. France, &, BB arrives entrance to Med. Sea.
Round Four: AH builds fighter & 3 submarines. Moves fighter & BB & C to central Med. Sea, versus, US 2 subs. & transport(trooper & gun) & Fr. BB & transport(gun & trooper). Losses only Fr. transport survives.
Fr. builds BB, C, &, submarine, moves transport(gun & trooper), BB, &, 2 subs. to AH home waters( 3 subs. & fighter are there). No combat.
US builds BB & transport, moves BB & C to central Med. Sea; off the East Coast C goes to Med. Sea(followed by transport with gun & trooper & sub.).
Round Five: A.H. builds 2 BBs.
Fr. builds 2 BBs, moves from W. Med. Sea, 2 BB & C & 3 subs. & transport into A.H. home waters(no mine damage), versus, 2 BB & 3 subs. & 2 fighters. Losses all left Fr. damage BB & transport(no landing made).
US builds tank, fighter, &, C. Moves, with no mine losses, BB & 2C into AH home waters, &, sub. arrives off Italy, &, off Med. Sea BB & transport.
At this point AH is just battling to keep her home waters Allied freed, while the latter will probably never be able to invade, by sea. An impasse has been reached, both sides are unable to win, mush less lose. At this time US has BB & 2C, sub., & 2 transports. While Fr. has 2BB & transport, &, AH has to match those ships.
Losses IPCs: Allies 06 land, 18 air, 178 sea, &, Axis 06 land, 06 air, &, 148 sea.
In terms of play for starting forces, US is a midget, so in Russia & U.S.A. versus A.H. Empire, anything the US can send to Russia would take no less than 4-5 turns(the game could be over). The best the US can do is use its navy to annoy, and, maybe take over AH home waters(maybe make a symbolic landing in Trieste).
Of course AH can spend some funds to counter the US naval effort, but, needs most of its IPCs for the land war against Russia. In all this can Russia hold until some heavy material aid comes from the states?
Round One: A.H. builds trooper, two guns, fighter, &, C. Moves forces to Northern A.H. Empire. Plan to launch massive invasion of Poland and/or Ukraine, forcing the Russians to split their forces. Also temping the Russians to try a pre-strike attack. Fleet moves to Western Med. Sea to block Allied navies for now.
Russians build 2 fighters, guns, &, 3 troopers. Fortifies equally Poland & Uk., &, uses Belarus as a gun park. Starts moving BB to entrance of Med. Sea.
U.S.A. builds transport, gun, &, fighter.
Round Two: A.H. Empire builds 4 troopers, sub., &, fighter. Moves C to Western Med. Sea(seacoast Trieste protected by original garrison). AH decides to invade Poland(to protect their flank, into Galicia 7 troopers & 4 guns join 9 troopers already there), with fighter flying in, you have 26 troopers, 8 guns, versus, Russian 14 troopers & 2 guns. Losses all Allies & Axis 8 troopers. Poland has fallen.
Russia is tempted to turn flanks and cut off AH forces inside their empire by taking out or contesting Galicia(of course that cold leave a very angry AH army inside Russia). Russia builds fighter, gun, &, 5 troopers, moving BB to the Med. Sea entrance. Leaving troops to guard flank in Uk.(9 troopers & gun). Russia pours forces into Poland, 15 troopers & 11 guns, &, 2 fighters, versus, AH 14 troopers, 14 guns, &, fighter. Losses air duel each side losses a fighter, Russia losses 10 troopers, &, AH losses 14 troopers & 6 guns. Such losses are hard for AH to make up, especially for a now contested province.
U.S.A. builds transport & BB, moves transport(trooper & gun) & escort C sail to Russia together.
Round Three: AH builds fighter, sub., 4 troopers. Moves more forces & fighter into contested Poland, and, sub. sails to join fleet. Also 5 troopers & 2 guns move into Galicia to reinforce it.
Combat in Poland 10 guns, 15 troopers, &, fighter, versus, Russian fighter, 9 guns, &, fighter. Axis win air duel. Losses Axis 7 troopers & Allies all but for one trooper.
Russia builds fighter & 5 troopers. Moves 8 troopers , gun, &, fighter, not into Poland, but, invades AH Galicia, versus, defending 5 troopers & 2 guns. Losses
Allies 4 troopers & all Axis, Galicia has fallen! Also moves troopers into Livinia & Belarus(leaving gun in Moscow).
Also BB arrives at entrance to Med. Sea.
US is in the situation of building up its Naval forces, should she send a landing force to eventually threaten southern AH empire(hopefully most of AH forces are stuck in southern Russia to do much about it), or, just send them to Russia directly where they might be too little, too late.
U.S.A. builds sub., transport, trooper & gun. BB goes to link up with Russian BB, transport & escort C doubles back, and, joins Russian BB, at entrance to Med. Sea(also another transport with trooper & fighter, leaves East Coast to link up also).
Round Four: AH has its flanks turn, worse it is only contesting Poland at this time, and, lost, Galicia. Also the Allies naval presence is starting to have an effect of sucking up resources needed for land combat(a slow retreat to home waters?). Builds submarine, tank, &, 5 troopers.
Moves sub. to join main fleet, from Vienna 4 troopers & fighter enters Galicia, versus, Russian fighter(which wins air duel), 4 troopers, &, gun. Losses Axis 2 troopers & Allies 1 trooper.
AH wanted to at least contest Galicia, in order to prevent a breakout to undefended Budapest, also defending Russian trooper in Poland destroyed for no lost(Poland is taken back).
Russia builds tank, gun, 5 troopers. Moves forces to secure Galacia again. From Moscow reinforces Livonia & Belarus. Into Galacia fighter, gun, &, 4 troopers, versus, AH 4 troopers. Losses Allies a trooper & all Axis.
USA builds transport, tank, &, gun. Moves from East Coast sub. & transport with trooper & gun, joining Russian BB(outside entrance to Med. Sea).
Combat 2 BB & C, enter Western Med. Sea from entrance, versus, AH BB, 2C &, 2 submarines. Losses only 2 damaged Allies BB remained, &, all Axis naval units lost.
If combat had gone AH way, precious US transports were still protected by sub. & Russian BB. A second front is needed soon, as Russia is on the ropes.
Round Five: AH builds BB & 5 troopers. Moves sub. to Western Med. Sea versus US 2 damaged BBs. Losses AH sub. & US 1 BB. From Vienna moves into Galicia, so gun & 5 troopers versus Russian fighter, gun, & 3 troopers. Losses AH 3 troopers & Russians 2 troopers.
From Poland into Livonia fighter, 4 troopers, &, 5 guns, versus, Russian 5 troopers. Losses AH 2 troopers & all Allies.
Russia builds gun & 8 troopers. Moves BB to join US BB in W. Med. Sea, &, from Moscow a trooper to reinforce Uk. & Belarus.
Also moves into Galicia fighter, gun, &, 5 troopers, versus, AH 4 troopers & 5 guns. Losses Allies 4 troopers & Axis 3 troopers & 3 guns. In Livonia 3 troopers, gun, &, tank from Moscow, versus, AH fighter, 5 guns, &, 2 troopers. Losses Allies 2 troopers & Axis 2 guns & trooper.
US builds transport, gun, &, transport. Moves sub. & 3 transport to W. Med. Sea, from East Coast sub. & transport(with trooper & tank) sail to Europe.
Round Six: AH builds BB, gun, &, 4 troopers. Moves trooper, gun, &, fighter into Belarus from Livonia. Also join there by trooper & 2 guns from Poland, versus, Russian trooper(losses a trooper each side). Belarus falls!
Russia builds 7 infantry. BB (no mine damage) goes to AH home waters and takes out defending BB & transport. Allies BB suffers damage.
Moves from Moscow & Uk. into Belarus gun & 9 troopers, versus, AH trooper, 3 guns, &, fighter. Losses Allies 2 troopers & all Axis. Belarus uncontested.
US builds 2 tanks & transports, BB & transport goes from E. Coast to entrance to Med. Sea(also sub. & transport arrive off Italy). Entering AH home waters, BB & 3 transports(sub. lost to mines), sea landings are made. BB makes a hit, AH two defending guns do not. US fighter, 3 troopers, &, 2 guns, versus, 5 troopers & 2 guns. Losses only one trooper each side are left.
Round 7: AH got to win, in this round, or, have to head for the peace talks. Builds sub. fighter, gun, &, 5 troopers. From Vienna troopers move to Galicia, and, reinforcements 4 troopers sent to Trieste. Battle 5 troopers versus US one trooper. Losses a trooper each side, &, Trieste is completely retaken. Also 2 troopers & tank take undefended UK.
AH forces in Russia, none in Poland, trooper in Livonia, 2 troopers & tank in Uk., 1 trooper in contested Belarusa.
Russia builds 6 troopers. Damaged BB takes out AH submarine. Moves 2 troopers from Moscow into Livonia, versus, AH trooper(both sides lose a trooper, Livonia retaken!). Also from Moscow 4 troopers into UK., versus, AH tank & 2 troopers. Losses Allies trooper & Axis trooper & tank(took a hit also). Uk. still contested! Finally in Belarus 7 troopers & gun versus defending AH trooper. Losses trooper each side, Belarus is retaken!
AH has lost 2 of 4 provinces, in Russia, has one contested(with just a defending trooper), and, another(Poland) undefended.
Here AH is between a rock and a hard place(another even harder rock), with a few more troops(maybe less ships), the Kaiser would be having a victory parade in Moscow(while half of AH empire might be overrun with US forces).
Still maybe the US should have landed most of their transports on the Russian coast(thus making AH force to leave units to defend them), much less a still threat of a landing through the Med. Sea. Of course the AH navy might have broken out into the Atlantic Ocean(maybe land troopers on the East Coast, just to annoy the Americans).
A military disaster for both sides, so much lost, for so little gain, Poland & Hungary spin off to make new independent countries(regardless of what the Axis and Allies would like).
Well end this, with the closing of this round, USA builds 2 transports, 2 troopers, &, gun. Moves 3 transports back to USA, 2 transports(with 2 troopers & gun & tank) leave for AH empire. Also another transport with trooper & gun & escort BB arrives off Italy. Another sub. & transport(with trooper & tank) arrive in AH home waters. Sub. lost to mine & US BB shells & take out defending trooper. Landed trooper & tank versus AH 3 defending troopers. Losses Axis a trooper & US tank absorbed hit.
AH has 5 troopers & a gun, ready to enter UK. to drive out Russian forces, or, defend Poland(another 5 troopers & gun & plane in Vienna). Cannot take Moscow with that kind of force, much less defend at the same time its coastline.
In Europe Russians have 16 troopers & a gun, USA trooper & tank, much less 8 transports making the rounds, the war is over for AH empire.
Losses IPCs Land Axis 255 & Allies 265, Air Axis 12 & Allies 24, Sea Axis 72 & Allies 33.

German Empire versus British Empire & Russian Empire. Basically GE. needs to pour her land & air forces into Russia, overwhelmed them, while building a fleet, to control the North Sea, &, prevent British Empire making any naval landings(in Russia/Germany).
Russia needs to buy time for Brits., going on the offensive on land and by sea, early in the game.
Brits. cannot wait to turn 4/5 to send help, get control of the seas, and, make those landings. Along the way clean up Africa.
Round One: Russia builds fighter, sub., 3 troopers , &, gun. Reinforcements pour into Poland, while Polish garrison invade Prussia. Six troopers & 2 guns versus GE. 6 troopers & 3 guns. Losses Allies 4 troopers & Axis 5 troopers & gun. Prussia is invested to buy British Empire time.

Next British & Russian Empires versus A.H. Empire. With only Trieste to defend by sea, the Axis can put its forces into trying to take Moscow(or as much territory as it can), before Brits. land forces become a bother. Allies need to keep A.H. fleet holed up, and, hold onto its front line territories, and, await Brits. land forces as reinforcements.
Round One: A.H. Empire builds sub. & fighter, &, 3 troopers & gun. Moves forces from Galicia into UK., land forces moving to upper part of empire. Fleet goes to off Egypt, and, Trieste garrison stays put, to protect coastline.

C & transport(latter is destroyed for no lost). BB shells and takes out a trooper & defending guns fire and take out an landed trooper. Remaining landed trooper takes out a defending Brit. trooper(even thought the landed trooper is destroyed by the rest of the defenders, it tweaks the British Lion that Egypt has been invaded, much less the Med. fleet has been wiped out).
Russia builds fighter, gun, &, 5 troopers. Sends BB to Med. Sea, &, land reinforcements to UK. & Poland. Combat in Uk., 15 troopers & 7 guns, versus, Empire of A.H. 3 troopers & 2 guns(Allies lose a trooper, &, Axis all). Uk. is liberated.

Round Three: AHE knows that Brits. will soon be on the scene, should they go for Moscow, trying to keep lines of communication open via Uk., or, try to grab as much undefended Russian provinces to use at the peace table, or, retreat & hunker down in Northern part of their empire. This is the last turn to try any of the above options, AHE builds, sub. fighter, gun, &, 4 troopers.
Moves reinforcements into Uk. & Galicia, 14 troopers & 7 guns & 1 fighter, versus, Russian troopers & 6 guns & fighter. Axis win air duel & lose 4 troopers, &, all Allies wiped out. Uk. is retaken, with 3 provinces undefended for the taking.
Russian builds fighter, gun, &, 5 troopers. Moves BB into Sea Zone #16 Med. Sea. Forces from Poland & Moscow enter Uk. to retake or contest it. In upcoming air duel both sides lose their fighter, 12 troopers & gun, versus AHE 10 troopers & 6 guns. Losses Allies lose 8 troopers & Axis 6 troopers. Uk. is contested!
British Empire builds 3 transports, gun, &, 3 troopers. Sub. arrives off Italy, 3 transports land 5 troopers & gun in Poland, another transport heads back to London(another Canadian transport lands also a trooper & gun). A cruiser & transport (trooper & fighter) leaves Wales and heads for the Med. Sea. Also 2 BBs & transport(trooper & gun), enter AHE home waters(no mine lost). AHE sub. destroyed & BB damaged. Shelling BBs take out two defending AHE troopers, while defending guns take out a landed gun. On land BE trooper destroyed by defending AHE 2 troopers & 2 guns.
AHE got a tough choice to make, with forces on the border, about the same makeup with Brits. in Poland, it makes it hard to reinforce forces in Uk.(even if they did, and, took over the Uk., it still would be still be too weak to ever take Moscow). New forces raised must now be diverted for potential sea landings, and, would be needed in northern part of the empire, to protect from the British forces in Poland(of 7 troopers, 2 guns, &, fighter).
Pull out of Russia, no real victory or lost, just some promise from both sides for more self rule for Uk. and Hungary.
Losses IPCs in units, troopers Axis 38 & Allies 43, 2 & 15 guns, 1 & 2 fighters, 3 subs. Axis only, 1 & 3 C , 1 BB Axis only, &, 1 & 1 transports.
Well that was a tough situation for the Allies, now it just got worst, Italy & Imperial Russia, versus, Germany(big sister with a big navy to play around with, compare to little sister AHE).
Round One: Russia builds for defense & limited attacks, until Italy can lend some help (via Africa), fighter & 6 troopers. Moves reinforcements into Poland, and, moves guns into Belarus(as a gun park). Forces already in Poland enter Prussia, 6 troopers & two guns versus GE. 6 troopers & 3 guns. Losses Allies 3 troopers & Axis 4 troopers.
BB makes it to GE. fleet off Kiel(no mine lost), attacks 2C & BB, losses Allied BB and damages GE. BB(lost is acceptable in order to lessen Axis attack strength into Med. Sea).

Battle fighter, 6 guns, &, 15 troopers, versus, Russian 2 troopers & 3 troopers. Losses one trooper Axis and all Allies. Navy heads for entrance to Med. Sea(no time to repair BB).
Italy purchases sub. & transport, her plan is to defend itself from any GE. landings and cause enough mischief in Africa to help Russia at the peace table. Unless the whole GE. fleet goes to visit N.Y.C., there is little chance of Italy landing any land/air forces in Russia. Reorganizes land forces to protect Italian mainland, and, BB & transport(trooper & gun) head for Red Sea.
Round Two: Russia builds fighter, gun, &, 5 troopers. Moves into Silesia 2 guns & 15 troopers, versus, GE. 3 guns & 12 troopers. Losses Allies 4 troopers & Axis 11 troopers.

Round Three: Russia builds fighter, gun, &, 5 troopers. Moves fighter from Moscow into Poland, along with troopers & guns. Combat fighter, 9 guns, &, 10 troopers, versus, GE. 4 troopers & 6 guns. Losses Allies 5 troopers, &, all for Axis(Poland is uncontested).
GE. builds sub., 2 transports, fighter, gun, &, 2 troopers. Moves more forces into Poland, in air duel GE. fighter is defeated, 20 troopers & 12 guns, versus, Russian fighter, 5 troopers, &, 9 guns. Losses 9 troopers GE. & all but one trooper for Russia.
GE. fleet attempts to land in the future, forces in undefended Sardinia(a GE. sub. lost to mines). Damaged BB , 2C, 3 subs., versus, Italian BB & C & sub. & transport. Losses only GE. damaged BB & C left, and, all lost for Italy. Meanwhile fleet from Kiel of BB & 2 transports(trooper and gun each), arrive at entrance to Med. Sea, set for Sardinia.
Italy builds BB & submarine. Moves BB & transport off Kameron, lands trooper & gun(shelling had no effect on lone defending trooper). Battle Allies lose gun & GE. troopers destroyed, Kamerun falls.
Italy gives back both GE. colonies to get Axis forces out of Poland, Russian has to give full freedom to Poland as a buffer state(in reality a puppet state to GE), GE. navy has full access to central Med. Sea(no mine worries).

Back to W.W. I, A.H. Empire versus Italian & French Empire.
Pellulo
Round One: AH Empire builds fighter, sub., &, 4 troopers. Here a quick strike for Rome can bring some results, with only one sea & land entrance for Austro-Hungarian Empire, makes it hard for the Allies to attack. But with France to lend large land forces to help Italy, perhaps a limited conquest(say Venice) to help see what the Allies will give to get AHE out of Italy.
Sends forces into Venice, while keeping Trieste covered in case of any future Allied sea landings. Twelve troopers & 4 guns versus Italian 6 troopers & 2 guns. Losses 5 troopers, &, all Italian but for one trooper. Venice is contested.
Fr. builds sub., fighter, &, 4 troopers. Moves forces into Italy, &, fighter lands in Piedmont. Also transport lands there, 2 troopers from North African colonies. Another transport goes to Morocco to pick up 2 troopers from W. Africa.
Brest fleet goes to Med. Sea, while Med. fleet, links up with Italian fleet.

France builds fighter, 2 troopers, &, BB. Transport from Morocco & 2 from Marseilles debarks 6 troopers on Tuscany. Also BB & sub. join up with Italian Fleet off Rome. Reinforcements enter Piedmont from Eastern France(along with fighter from Paris).
Italy builds gun & 3 infantry, transport arrives off East Africa. Reinforcements from Piedmont & Rome enter Tuscany.
Round Three: AHE builds sub., fighter, gun, &, four troopers. More land reinforcements pour into Venice, along with fighter from capital. Land forces attack Tuscany(rather than Piedmont). Thirty troopers & 8 guns & fighters, versus, Allies 15 troopers, 3 guns, &, 2 fighters. Losses Axis 11 troopers and fighter, &, French 6 troopers & fighter. Also Italian 8 troopers & 3 guns lost. Tuscany is contested.
AHE breaks out of Home Waters(no mine lost) aiming for French transports. Two BB & C & sub., versus, Fr. 2BB & C & sub. & 3 transports, &, Italian BB & C(only after battle Italian BB & Fr. BB & 3 transports left).
France builds fighter, sub., gun, &, 3 troopers. Moves 3 transports from Italy to Marseilles & lands in Tuscany 6 troopers(from Piedmont forces move into Tuscany also). Battle 17 troopers & 4 guns & fighter, versus, AHE 19 troopers & 8 guns. Losses Fr. 15 troopers & AHE 10 troopers.

Italy builds gun & 3 troopers. Moves Rome garrison to Tuscany, 4 troopers, versus, AHE trooper & 7 guns. Losses all of Italy’s European land forces & AHE 3 guns. Transport with trooper arrives off Egypt.
Endplay AHE will never take Rome or head towards Paris, even probably controlling Tuscany again(to do so, lets France to retake Venice). Pieces for land are about the same for both sides, Axis has no navy, but, needs to build one to protect the coastline from Fr. landings in the future(if Venice is lost, would also face a land invasion). For the Allies, it would be a long bloody road to Vienna. So both sides “save face”, where Fr. Tunis & Italian Libya meet, a small part of the coastline(20 miles long & 5 deep) is leased to AHE for ninety-nine years. Also uncontested home ports visits for everybody. This mini leased colony is a non-militarized zone.
Losses IPCs, Allies troopers 43 & Axis 37, Allies guns 12 & Axis 6, fighters 3 each side, transport for Axis, 2 subs. each side, Allies 2 C & Axis 1, and, 3 BBs each side.

Tit for Tat, the Allies will find it hard to ever invade GE. by sea, &, the latter has invaded the Brits. Island but failed to stay the complete round. Of course naval dominance for the N. Sea flip flops from one side to another. GE. agreed to never land in London again(or any part of Brit. islands), &, keep its fleet only in the North Atlantic area(as long as she gets Kamerun back). Of course the Allies can refuse and spend forever to try to get a decent landing in Germany. Italy & Brit. keep a GE. colony each, and, split one between themselves.

British Empire moves 4 transports towards British Home Islands, another arrives off S. Africa(picks up trooper & gun). Three transports head for India & pick up 5 troopers & a gun, while 2 transports arrive off Canada & picks up 3 troopers & gun. Meanwhile a transport leaves Canada with a trooper & gun, and, 2 transports arrive off Italy with 2 troopers(a trooper debarks into Rome) & fighter & gun to link up with navy.
Fleet enters AHE Home waters, 2 BB(one has mine damage), &, C and 2 transports join C already there, versus, AH 2 submarines. Losses Allies C & Axis all. BBs shell & take out 2 defending troopers & defending gun scores no hit. Landed 2 troopers & gun & fighter(another fighter flies in from Rome), versus, 1 troopers & tank & gun. Losses all Axis forces(tank also takes a hit for trooper), both fighters fly back to Rome. A complete blowout for Axis forces & luck for the Allies.
Italy builds 3 troopers.
Round Six: AHE builds 2 subs., aircraft, tank, &, 2 troopers. From capital into Trieste fighter & 4 troopers, and, from Venice 3 troopers & fighter(all guns are in Rome), versus, Brit. fighter & 2 troopers & gun. Losses only a Axis trooper. Venice is left undefended, &, from Tuscany 2 troopers & gun invade Piedmont(defending It. trooper taken out for no lost). Battle for Rome 3 troopers & 10 guns, versus, Brits. 2 fighters, gun, &, Italian 3 troopers & gun. Losses Axis 2 troopers & 3 guns, &. all Allies. Rome has fallen.
British Empire builds 2 transports, 4 troopers gun, & fighter. Three transports moving up via Egypt & Red Sea(5 troopers & 1 gun), and, transport from South Africa with trooper & gun. Two more transports from Canada at entrance of Med. Sea with 3 troopers & gun, and, 2 transports off S. France with 2 troopers & gun & tank. London garrison moves to Wales to meet three incoming transports, and, submarine leaves Wales, heading for Italy. In AHE Home waters 2 BBS(one damaged), C, 2 transports(one arriving, no mine damage), versus, two AH submarines and 2 fighters. Losses Allies another BB damaged, C, &, Axis all.
Sea landing in Tuscany, 2 BBs shell(no effect), and, 2 troopers land & another trooper lands by transport from Trieste(a second trooper lands in undefended Venice). Losses a trooper each side, Tuscany & undefended Venice falls! Still a fighter left in now uncontested Trieste.
Italy cannot build, sends BB to guard Brit. transport in AHE Home Waters, &, transport arrives off Wales.
AHE wins by default, moderate political victory.
Round Seven: AHE does not to do anything, a round has finish and they still control Rome. True if hostilities picked up, AHE would have to, with reinforcements having to come into being, secure the seacoast, rebuild a navy, and, fight your way back to Rome(to link up with a cut off army of mostly 6 guns & a trooper). Much less link up with forces in cut off Piedmont. The problem with Italy, Allied sea landing are for ever coming , especially with Brits. copious transports(it is like playing whack the mole game in the video arcade, take out or contest a landing, and, another landing occurs).
So taking a small chunk of Libya & Egypt to get a small non-militarized colony is well worth it, especially getting your forcers safety out of Italy, and, Allies off your coastline and home waters.
If not then on British Empire next move you have 2 BBs shelling, transport off Italy with 2 troopers, 4 transports from Africa & India with 6 troopers & 2 guns, 2 transports off S. France with 2 troopers & gun & tank, 2 transports at entrance to Med. Sea with 3 troopers & gun(much less 4 leaving Wales with 6 troopers & 2 guns). Also any future builds to take back Rome & Piedmont, much less new Italian forces.
Taking the colony is a sure thing, or, losing everything in trying to hold onto Italy.
IPCs losses Axis 51 & Allies 60 troopers, 7 & 17 guns, tank only Axis, 4 fighters each side, 1 & 2 transports, 8 & 1 subs., 1 & 6 C, 3 BB Axis only.

Next British & Italian Empires versus German & Ottoman Empires.
Round One: Germany builds fighter, 2 transports, sub., &, C. Needs naval dominance in order to invade British Home Islands, that would help the Ottomans more, than trying to link up navies/land troops in Africa/Mid-East.
The Ottoman Empire is caught between British Colonial forces & Italy, they have only a few rounds before the Allies overrun them. For Germany it is really a naval game, the bulk of her land forces will just gather dust, for this game.
Moves fleet to Sea Zone #4 off Scotland, except two subs. that go from Sea Zone #7 to off Canada. Fighter flies from capital to Kiel. This will force in the future, the Brits. to attack the new builds, through two minefields, or, the fleet off Scotland. Just beyond Scotland is undefended Ireland, where two of its three sea spaces have no mine protection.
Two troopers from W. Africa take over undefended Brit. colonies of Gold Coast & Nigeria. Off Canada 2 subs. versus Canadian C & transport. Losses all but one submarine.
British Empire builds fighter, BB, sub., &, transport. Moves troopers & gun to help protect coastline of Home Island. Sudan & East Africa trooper head for Egypt. Trooper from Rhodesia invades GE. East Africa(defended by trooper), &, trooper & gun from South Africa invades GE. S. Africa(defended by gun & trooper). Losses all Axis, &, Allies a gun, both colonies fall!
Garrison in Egypt invade Jordan, with BB & transport(2 troopers), from India, arriving off Jordan. BB shelling & Turkish defending gun eliminate a trooper each. Seven troopers & 2 guns versus Turkish trooper & gun. Losses Axis all, Jordan has fallen!
Egyptian transport heads for India, &, C from India arrives off Egypt
Ottoman build 2 troopers, gun, &, fighter. Moves forces from Syrian & Smyrna(one trooper sent to Mesopotamia as reinforcement) go into Jordan. Meanwhile capital garrison moves to Smyrna.
In Jordan 7 troopers & gun, versus, British 8 troopers & 2 guns. Losses all Axis but one trooper, &, Allies 5 troopers.
Italy builds transport & fighter. Land 2 troopers in contested Jordan, takes out Axis trooper for no lost, Jordan is uncontested! Forces in Africa head for Jordan.
BB & C enter Turkish Home waters(BB suffers mine damage), versus, Axis 2 C & fighter. Losses all Allies, &, Axis 2C. Turks have no naval forces to protect capital.
Round Two: Germany builds fighter, 2 transports, BB, & C. Fighter flies to Kiel, remaining 2 troopers in Africa, go to Togoland to hunker down. Sub. joins transport at Sea Zone #4 for an impending attack on Ireland.
Combat 3 BBs(one damaged by mines), 3 subs.(one lost to mines), 3 C, transport(with troopers), &, fighter, versus Britain Home fleet of fighter(lost in air duel), 2 BBs, 2 C, sub., &, 2 transports. Losses only damaged Brit. BB survived.
British built BB, transport, &, 2 fighters. Two transports & BB in Red Sea moves to India. Two troopers heading to Egypt from East Africa, and, another trooper arrives in Jordan(from Egypt). Cruiser off Egypt heads for British Home Islands. While damaged BB off London, goes to Sea Zone#4, &, sinks GE. sub. & transport(2 troopers).
Combat BB scores a hit, &, defending gun scores also. Trooper & 2 guns, versus, Ottoman 2 troopers & gun. Losses Allies a trooper & Axis a trooper & gun, Mesopotamia is contested!
Turkey builds sub. & 3 troopers. Moves Smyrna garrison & 2 troopers from Syria, into Jordan. From capital 2 troopers & gun head for Mesopotamia. Eight troopers & 2 guns & fighter from capital, versus, British 3 troopers & 2 guns, and, It. 2 troopers. Losses Axis 5 troopers & all Allies. Jordan is retaken!
Italy builds BB & Trooper. Moves 2 transports to off Egypt & lands 4 troopers, &, fighter flies in from Rome.
Round Three: GE. builds BB, 2 transports, &, fighter. Invasion of Ireland, still in the works, another fighter flies to Kiel from Berlin. For now off Scotland, Sea Zone #4, BB & C & 2 transports(2 troopers & 2 guns), along with fighter(lost in air duel with Brit. fighter from London). BB & defending gun each take out a infantry. Landed trooper & 2 guns, versus, Brits. 2 troopers & gun. Losses Axis 2 guns & Allies trooper & gun. Scotland is contested!
Brits. build BB, 2 transports, for Home islands, and, 3 troopers & gun for India. Reinforcements into Scotland, 3 troopers & gun, versus, GE. trooper. Losses all Axis & Scotland uncontested. Transport drops 2 troopers off Wales, &, C from Med. Sea joins to protect it.
Moves two transports with 3 troopers land in Mesopotamia, with fighter flying in from India. BB shelling takes out defending Turkish trooper, Mesopotamia falls.
C off Egypt enter Ottoman Home Waters, no mine lost, &, takes out defending submarine. Naval losses are heavy but land forces are needed for India for Ottoman invasion. Local control of seas allows transports to be used.
Ottoman build a BB, moves forces to take back Mesopotamia(another 2 troopers are on the way). In a attempt to at least contest Mesopotamia, in air duel with Brit. fighter, the Turkish fighter is lost. Two troopers & gun, versus, Brits. 4 troopers, fighter, & gun. Losses Axis trooper & gun, &, Allies 3 troopers. The province is contested.
Italy builds fighter, sub., &, trooper. Moves forces from Egypt into Jordan, 5 troopers & gun & fighter, versus, Ottoman 3 troopers & gun. Losses Allies trooper & Axis 2 troopers, Jordan is contested.
BB & 2 transports enter Ottoman Home Waters(no mine lost), versus, Ottoman BB. Losses both BBs. Landed 2 troopers & 2 guns & fighter(flies in), versus, Ottoman 2 troopers & gun(defending gun scored no hits against forces trying to land). Losses Allies a trooper & Axis all. Axis capital falls!
Allies win by default, end of round Ottoman capital still taken, if another round played, maybe the Turks might have taken it back(with 4 troopers, gun, & fighter). Of course GE. might have invaded Scotland(or London) again, with 4 transports, fighter, 2 BBs, & C, versus, defending Brits. had only 2 BBs & fighter.
Naval losses heavy, but, primary land forces losses in Mid-East only. For last round I replayed it, where the Turks got only a submarine & 2 extra troopers(instead of a BB). When Italy invaded Ottoman Home Waters, the BB survived(destroyed sub. but was damaged), &, took out a trooper shelling, &, capital was still taken by landed forces.
GE. gives up another colony to get the Allies out of Turkey, &, promises never to enter Brit. Home Waters, or, invade Scotland again. Also Allies get control of lower quarter of Jordan & Mesopotamia.
IPCs lost Axis Trooper 29 & 19 Allies, guns both seven, fighter 2 & 1, transport 1 & 3, sub. 5 &1, C both three, BB 1 & 3.
