This is a fun one for me I'd say in the 3rd Battalion 1st Marines, Guadalcanal; Okinawa, Semper Fi!
Right, but I was trying to think of a name for this nonexistent branch of Italian marines so I took some liberties with the name. Freebird was...
Thanks for that now my posts can make more sense to everyone lol, but back to this scenario. The Italians would have built their military focused...
See this is why I'm glad I found this site, education by the more well informed lol Now I'm confused, there were 600,000 troops that made up the...

I did read that the San Marco regimen was composed of some effective fighters but how well could say 3 or 4 divisions of those type of fighters be...
The role I'd think for them on the ground at least (or sea to land) would be in conjunction with the German troops again going back to my first...
That's how I picture the Italian forces in my scenario with emphasis on amphibious capabilities, almost like the marines in the Pacific; quick...

We're assuming no PH attack, so what I'm seeing is at least 7 more battleships that are ready to mobilize against the Japanese right away. I'm not...
I think if Italy would have at least been able to support their German allies from the sea that does make a world of difference. It's another head...
If the US had their battleships ready to roll from the start the Japanese would have been road kill, they knew that that's why they wanted to take...
It's just that supplying and giving what those invading forces need to sustain an invasion so far away without complete access to whatever...
It seems to me the more probable thing to do for the axis or more likely course that they would have taken is just a full on assault on Mexico....
To me even if they were more well equipped for the Axis coordination and shared efforts would have been the key. Deciding on a target and taking a...
Two weaknesses I noticed with axis efforts were one, lack of coordination between the axis and two Italy plain and simply could not prove it self...
