go back to the original idea behind Italy:
It is offsetted by a lend lease program to the Soviets.
10 IPC can be loaded to the Soviets by UK/USA and this aid is free and does not reduce the economies.
the offset is now Germany is worth 10 more IPC so germany does not now goto 30… because now Southern Europe, Lybia, and Balkans are the new Italy.
net result:
Germany no longer has S europe, Balkans, Lybia AND stays at 40 IPC
Italy is now carved out into a nifty 10 IPC producing nation with a strong navy to start.
The western allies are getting to loan up to 10 IPC to Soviets or even UK to offset Italy.
If Italy need more money she will have to capture some of Africa.
Also optionaly we allow germany to loan a limited amount of money to italy 2-5 IPC max.
Also the Lend Lease to Soviets are carried by special chips under a tranny ( use coins) it can be attacked or intercepted.
Summation:
now we have given the Soviets some support because we no longer allow UK /USA to land in soviet territory
WE install some kind of submarine warfare allowing germany to have a idea to actually build subs, when before they didnt
now Italy is carved out and the income loss does not effect germany
