Alright, just started my second attempt at an Italian campaign, but this time in 2.3 There's a lot of stuff unfinished / broken with Italy in 2.3.
Apart from that, it is quite a challenge. The UK and allies field huge armies in North Africa (not sure how realistic 16 UK infantry divisions in Southern Egypt are ...) but I guess it's done for the sake of gameplay.
One thing I noticed is that Italian East Africa sucks really hard even in terms of supplying any troops. I have 12 INF spread out for defence down there and they flip-flop on supplies on a daily basis. That's kinda odd and seems like an AI problem since they still have 4/5 IC and need maybe half an IC for supplies. Anyone else running into that problem?
Also noticed the AI will create a convoy from somewhere in conquered France or Germany all the way to Assab to supply Italien East Africa. Horrendous loses due to allied convoy attacks but then what will you do. But then once you conquer Suez and a direct route would be open, the AI won't change it. So'd have to do it manually. Any idea if this can be done via event? I think I know about convoy creation but deleting an existing one you're not even sure which port to which is tricky ... any suggestions?
