wittmann is right, the Italians can’t participate in the German attack so they are bystanders. By rule the German transport should endure one round of combat, then it can retreat if still alive (unless you are playing a friendly game and allow the German player to rethink his move based on the new info).
Newbie question - factory upgrade
-
Hello,
I got a newbie question….may I upgrade a minor factory that is originally controlled by other country? For example if I am a Germany player may I conquer India factory and than upgrade that one into a major one for my own use?

No, you can’t. Quoting the rules:
Major industrial complexes can only be built on originally controlled (not captured) territories with an IPC value of 3 or higher.
While India does have a sufficient IPC value for a major industrial complex, it would not be an originally controlled territory for Germany, but a captured one.

Ah got you. Thanks for quick response.
