Morning Knp.
The Italians had no inclination to fight the British and even less the Americans, when they joined the war.
There was also a massive class divide between Officers and the enlisted man. This made morale very low and did not help create a fighting force. Italians were happy to be left alone.
The Italian army was also a foot one. Hardly any units were motorised and that would prove a problem in the vast expanses of desert and the seesaw nature of the campaign.
The British were lucky when they attacked in Dec of 1940 as they had only had limited objectives. The advance was so uncontested, that they kept going until they had Benghazi and Tobruk.
Being Italian, I love to laugh at my WW2 army’s dismal performances and unwillingness to throw their lives away for someone else’s glory.
When the Italians switched sides, however, things got very bloody as civil war broke out amongst the Fascists and Communists. Many Italians proved they were not afraid of dying once they had a real cause and future in which they believed.
My dad’s dad was in Africa, Russia and later ran and hid from the Fascists in Tuscany.
Two quick questions…
-
1. When battleships are damaged, can they still do everything they normally do at full strength like shore bombardment and naval battles while still turned on their side?
2. When a neutral who is pro-your side joins you, can you land your planes in that territory in the same turn?
-
1. Yes
2. Not sure. I believe yes.

Hey there Buddy.
Q1: Regarding Battleships turned on the side.
Battleships are fully operational as far as abilities goes. But as you may figure it only has 1 hit left before its gone.Q2: Regarding planes landing in Pro-XX territories.
In the rulings of Airplanes it says in the general rulebook that an airplane may only land in a territory that was friendly at the beginning of your turn. So since the territory in question has only just been taken you cannot land it there :)!Hope it is helpful

Correct. Cow- Dutch territories are not neutral. Holland is not a neutral no player power. It is an Allied non player power. A non neutral Ally is ALWAYS free to land planes there while the territory is still dutch
