Hi,
I am playing a game as Italy, and I'm really struggling. I control basically all of the med, from the NOrthern border of Nat. Spain round to Libya.
However, I don't control the seas, GB has large fleets still in the med, coming through from Gibraltar.
So - I DOW'd Spain, to get Gibraltar. But USA, Netherlands, Belgium, UK, Aus, NZ etc landed an enormous force in Spain, and are quickly pushing me back. Germany helped, and now gettting pushed back in Spain, and in the East.
I spent a lot of IC on Carriers and CL and CAG, perhaps too much?
Or perhaps I should not invade Spain?
It seems to me after several games that Ger is doomed to lose, basically as soon as USA enters the war, unless SU is beaten, which is very rare.
Any guidance greatly appreciated, Italy are my favourites to play, so will probably start again and try another strategy.
Thanks
edit: it's probable I'm not using my carriers effectively, any links to a good guide on this?
