    Some Italian Regio Esercito Vehicles

    I personally think the inclusion of Italy's a good idea. Italy, yes, got their butts kicked during the war. This was due to: a) Allied tech boosts much faster than they could keep up with (which eventually led to the downfall of the Germans as well). They were poorly equipped by the standards of the forces just being deployed in Africa (Shermans, etc), but for all this they fought as best as they could manage, and were the main africa force (Rommel's Afrika Korps was mostly a support group, and didn't fight until the Italians in the area had fled to Malta or surrendered). <_< Poor leadership and morale led troops to blunder into battle not willing to fight, and also into the jaws of the Allied forces. It also led to their humiliating defeats in Greece and other areas. c) Economic implosion led to newer, better tanks never making the front lines. To add Italy would mean you had weaker units, for sure. However, they would also be very cheap (meaning you could churn the units out very fast and in great numbers). This would balance out with the Germans, who have tougher units which are harder to produce, and the Allies who have faster more agile and somewhat more powerful units which are the sort of fence-sitter side. Japan should also be added. Their airforce was excellent and their army and navy was powerful (until the Admirals sent it to its death), even if their tanks weren't up to scratch.
