i think that GENERAL.I.A.Z idea is good but it will suck the fun out of it ,but if it was me who was playing i would use the old defense-offence maneuver i would entrench all my main army(tanks,infantry,anti-tanks) in the closest city near the border & then right behind them i entrench the artillery & AAA & put my air force near the closest base ,after i declare war on italy i use one unit as a scape goat & sent it deep into the AI territory ,they will respond by using all their army to counter attack that is when the main army will halt them & i use the Air force& artillery to pound the army while they lie still & get kicked in the teeth then, i use my main army to push harder than ever ,but that just me
by the way this should have been in the military section no doubt
