Italy can build the Tobruk factory and take Greece. It’s becoming the new standard move for Italy.
However Italy can’t get move their navy now until turn 3 or 4. Even then they usually go into North Africa away from the UK.
I really actually like that the UK can hurt Italy now. However, both Germany and Italy are now too weak with navy. It just puts the game out of balance in Europe now IMO. UK now controls what Germany and Italy does too early.
Of course Japan has lots of extra fun in this scenario.
