I was worried about that armour stack coming through Ukraine for a while, but the lack of power up north let me shift everything down to Stalingrad. I think that is one of the clearest strategic errors in hindsight. 2nd was not taking Crete both to give Germans the NO and also to force a reaction from UK. For your bid as Italy if you are going to go Med I think a destroyer in 99 and an infantry in Tobruk is a better spend. Or a mech + armor between

I will probably try a sub for Italy and infantry for the Germans in Holland in our next game. Mediterranean is hard, good Allied player like you can make a strong position in Egypt and the Middle East, basically stopping Italy very early.

Like you said, Crete and Malta/Cyprus are important, but I usually tend to wait taking them until I build the carrier or German comes down to help. Which did not happen in this game.
