Another huge problem is my lack of research. Its pitiful. All the IC's I can muster are spent on supplies, and an additional infantry unit or transport here or there. Its 1940 and im no more then 5% into the tech tree. Germanys got to be at least 40%. Is there any way to get them to share with me?
Taking countries in the Balkans is a great help to Italy, I ended up taking over the whole area excluding Hungary (Who are Axis too) in my current game. ICs and resources aplenty. Miltary access through or conquest of Turkey will help you supply your African troops and let you march your men over instead of using transports.
The AI doen't like to share its techs but you could always switch to Germany and gives some techs to Italy (keep the game paused so the AI doesn't mess up Italy while your away).
Another problem. Ive diplomaticaly influenced several countries into hard core facism. Portugul, Turkey and Mexico are all 100% facist. But since I'm not the leader of the alliance, I cant invite them to join with us. Will germany EVER ask them to come along?
They did in my game. I got all sorts of countries to support the axis and then Germany invited them to join it.
I was thinking about maybe trying to take out Yugoslavia since I wont need to use transports to get their resources back home. Their army is about the same size as mine though, and I serriously doubt I have better tech then them. Any thoughts?
Its a good idea, as I've said above. You started out with much better tech than them so you proably still do. And, if you do lose a pile of Infantry its less supplies to build
