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).
GE. builds BB, 2 transports, fighter, &, gun. Moves troops & guns & fighter to Prussia & Silesia.
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.
GE. builds transport, sub., &, 8 troopers. Will try to uncontested Silesia & invade Poland at the same time. Prussian forces enter Poland, fighter, 6 guns, &, 14 troopers, versus, Russian fighter, 2 guns, &, 13 troopers. Losses both sides lose their fighter, Axis & Allies both lose 10 troopers(Poland is contested).
Reinforcements pour into contested Silesia fighter, 9 guns, &, 17 troopers, versus, Russian 2 guns & 11 troopers. Losses for Axis only 3 troopers, &, Allies all(Silesia is uncontested). A fleet sets off from Kiel to entrance to Med. Sea, with two transports(trooper & gun each one) & escort BB.
Italy builds BB, moves transport to reinforce Sicily with transport & gun. A BB & transport(trooper & gun) lands in GE. East Africa, shelling takes out defending GE. trooper, and, the colony falls.
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).
Losses IPCs: Axis troopers 44 units & Allies 48, guns 6 & 14, fighter one each, transport Allies one, subs. 4 & 1, C one each side, &, BB two Allies.
