Italy conquering British North Africa sounds more like "Fantastical" history than "alternate" history.
It did take them over 2 years, with tanks, aircraft, poision gas, machine guns, etc. to conquer that military powerhouse Eithiopia right?

Shall we go into British gassing people in their own colonies or handing out banned dum dum rounds? 
Well, we British love to boast about how we defeated the massive Italian armies in Africa with our army of 4 men and a dog called Rover. Maybe the Italians just got really unlucky and could have won if things had been only slightly different?
As for France it was always my impression that if one takes Paris then they do, in fact, throw the towel in.
The rubber business is slighly more worrying; but this is a complex game and the Russians are playing without manuals and only have a couple of days experience. It sounds like a fundamental error in economic management has been made. I wonder what it was? I'd like to know so that I don't repeat it when my time comes

Well, in RL the French threw their towel in when Paris fell so why not in the game? Anyway, France is a very centralistic country, especially in this time, with all governmental functions and very much of the administration located to Paris, so I do not consider it unrealistic that France gives up when Paris falls.

It shouldn't be a problem, I can't understand how he managed to run out of Rubber... I have never run out of rubber as long I have had something to trade or convert, its dead easy.
Guys, don't forget that forum reports are an inherently skewed sample. Even if the seemingly unavoidable Ottomans - Byzanthium conflict in EU2 ends in the Ottomans favor 99 times out of 100, it's the 1 anomaly that we get to read about here. Nobody will come to the EU2 forums to say "Man, I just saw the Ottoman Empire take out Byzanthium in 1500. Like, far out, man."
Although in relase version of EU II, Byzantium (or Venice) took out Ottoman Empire in 2/3 cases

Because they focused the whole of their industrial capacity to manufacture HOI; quite poorly I might add, they don't even have manuals
HA-HA-HA

Not the best of examples, I know, but the only one I could think of off the top of my head.
BTW, it didn't really happen THAT often...
