I wanted to give the poor Yanks something to do…
Actually I don’t suppose the U.S. and Italy are allowed to control non-aligned neutrals until they are at war.
Question: if Austria attacks Albania R1 (but doesn’t attack Venice) does this automatically mean a state of war between Austria and Italy, or just that Italian units are used to defend Albania?
If the latter, Austria could use this loophole to annihilate Albanian units before they have any chance to be supported from Italy. Not that Albania is likely to be worth much - 1 IPC if that.
It seems strange that Italy cannot transport units to Albania without engaging the Austrian navy; in reality Italy blockaded the Adriatic across the narrows between Apulia and Albania.
