It is best to buy Mechs and can open and support Germany on the East Front. If the opportunity arises, and the U.K. and US player allow it, buy a DD to keep your convoying down. Don’t make it easy for the Allies to deny you income. German Fts often have to park in Rome to scramble to sink Subs.
Playing Italy is about bothering the Allies, forcing them to spend in the Med, when they want to go East, towards the ME.
Difference in start setup?

Are there any differences in the units setup in Global 1940 and Global 1940 Second edition?
If yes, where can I find the first edition setup? I only have the second edition of the game.
Thanks in advance

The setups of both versions are definitely different. A quick search shows this file on BoardGameGeek:
Play aids 1st and 2nd edition globalI do think you need to have a BGG account to download the zip file. After extracting the pdf inside this zip file look for A&AG 1940 Play Aid Charts.pdf as this contains the setups and references for each nation for both 1st edition (in white) and 2nd edition changes (in yellow)

does this thread re-hash the 1ed setup correctly? Thinks so. HTH
