I do like the idea of refueling ships, but I would suggest that the US player be allowed to use unloaded transports as tankers, as this would represent the massive fleet train developed by the US to support the Pacific Fleet.  You could use that as a US National Advantage that would cost IPC to obtain.

I already add tanker in my house rules.
Tanker = 5 IPC. US, UK and Japan used tanker

Italy in that games is unrealistic. First, their economy is nearly same than japan
Second, they have greatest fleet, air force and army in mediterranean…

Their army is old and generals bad, tanks poor, inf poor-equipmented(in Alps, 19 french + 2 MGs defend fortess, Italian inf division retreat), artillery WWi, bombers do not hit, battleships are bad(Littorio shooted 96 rounds to Warspite, no any hit) and they havent much fuel for ships.

So their army must be stronger and zones worth more IPCs, but some rules needed for their bad warachievement…

You could achieve the same effect by simply doubling (or tripling) the starting forces, and by making units cost 1/2 (or 1/3) of their normal IPC cost.
