意大利是位於南歐的主要國家。在遊戲開局的1936年,其強大的海軍可稱為國之重器,坐擁地中海中央的位置使其有機會控制整個地中海。然而,僅堪一用的陸軍規模和捉襟見肘的殖民帝國使其難以獨自與
聯合王國、
法國等老牌列強爭霸,兩個大國都在地中海沿岸維持着其龐大的殖民地。
因而在歷史中,意大利支持
德意志國,使軸心國能夠爭奪地中海和北非的控制權。如果成功實現這一目標,同盟國將不得不失去騷擾軸心國軟肋的據點,並使軸心國能夠確保地中海的安全,將注意力集中在其他戰區。
意大利位於歐洲南部,由亞平寧半島和西面的西西里島和撒丁島組成。它還佔領着
在1918年第一次世界大戰結束時,意大利是勝利的協約國中的成員。為了換取領土擴張的要求,意大利選擇支持法國和英國。隨着戰爭的結束,意大利曾預計,其承諾的回報將與意大利在阿爾卑斯山的損失相稱。但是在1919年的巴黎和會上,三個主要大國(美國,英國和法國)大都放棄了對較少盟國的承諾:意大利僅獲得了南蒂羅爾和的里雅斯特省,而英國和法國則將殖民地劃分了。他們將達爾馬提亞的領土移交給了新成立的
南斯拉夫。長期以來,意大利一直認為是意大利的地區,例如科西嘉(Corsica),薩沃伊(Savoy),尼斯(Nice)和突尼斯等(Tunisia),仍受
法國控制,而在那裏的原德國殖民地大部分分配給了
聯合王國。這種看似背叛的行為激怒了整個意大利,今天被視為促成意大利法西斯主義崛起的因素之一。
在此後,
意大利征服了
埃塞俄比亞和
阿爾巴尼亞,在隨後參加第二次世界大戰。儘管與
德意志國簽訂了《鋼鐵條約》,但意大利直到1940年6月才加入戰爭,並計劃通過擊敗
法國(科西嘉,薩沃伊和尼斯)來獲得盟國所應有的地位與份額。在隨後的1941年,意大利同德國和匈牙利一起入侵了
南斯拉夫,並成功征服併吞並了達爾馬提亞沿海的大部分地區以及南斯拉夫的其他一些內陸地區。
除了這些成功之外,意大利的戰爭貢獻便不盡如人意。在法國投降之前,意大利無法在法國取得重大收穫,然後在1940年晚些時候,在
希臘王國戰役中遭受慘敗。後來,意大利為入侵英國控制的埃及投入了15萬士兵,面對英國僅有3500士兵的防禦,在佔領了50英里的領土之後,由於後勤問題被迫放棄計劃。不久之後,他們在羅盤行動(Operation Compass)中遭到
被新任命的
歐洲聯盟的創始成員之一。但是,除所有非洲殖民地外,意大利將伊斯特拉地區(Istria)和達爾馬提亞的扎達爾市(Zadar)割讓給了南斯拉夫。
意大利作為七個主要國家之一,擁有獨特的國策樹。
1936年開局時,意大利擁有4個科研槽,隨國策可額外解鎖1個。

Italy has 39 divisions in 1936. Of these:
The land borders of Italy's core territory (France, Switzerland, Austria - later German Reich - and Yugoslavia) are all mountains or hills (except for the city of Nice), and naval invasions will be necessary to control the Mediterranean, so a mix of mountaineers and marines is recommended for special forces expansion.
In terms of technology, Italy's support weapons, armor and artillery are rather outdated, the only special forces available are mountain infantry, and the only support companies available are engineers. Extensive modernization and research will be needed.

The Regia Marina is sizeable, with access to significant amounts of modern naval technology - Italy possesses all of the 1936 hulls, batteries and armor setups. The one exception is the complete lack of carriers, but given the time necessary to spin up such a project, it may well not seem worth investing in. Most of the existing ships are older models, but there are four battleships anticipating 1940-1941 completion dates, a nearly-completed Montecuccoli Class cruiser and two almost half-complete Duca degli Abruzzi Class cruisers, two half-complete Maestrale Class destroyers, and a half-complete Calvi Class submarine in production. Completing these any time soon will require a bigger investment in Italian dockyard capacity.

The Regia Marina is rather sizable, it is however not very modern. The only 1936 naval tech that Italy possesses is the Caio Duilio battleship, though it does possess upgraded versions of the 1922 heavy cruiser, light cruiser, destroyer, and submarine. Italy also has several ships under construction. 2 Caio Duilio Class battleships that are about 20% finished. A Montecuccoli class light cruiser that is almost finished along with two Maestrale Class destroyers and a Sirena Class submarine.

Upgrading the interwar fighters and bombers to at least 1936 level is a priority for the air force, as is simply expanding the country's contingent of fighters to a size that can achieve air superiority over the home land and sea regions to fend off strategic bombing and port strike missions.(The Allies (AI) can easily send over 1000 bombers and fighters respectively to Italy.) If carriers are to be built, naval variants of fighters, naval bombers, and perhaps close air support will also be needed as a priority, otherwise the carriers are useless.

Italy's high command picks are an underwhelming lot, only the air force attracts any candidates above "Specialist" level with one exception for a Naval Expert in Military High Command. Army command tends towards the defensive, Navy command trends in the direction of capital ships, only the Air Force command picks exhibit a degree of intense specialization.

Italy is an interesting country to play despite being the weakest of every starting Majors. It is unique in that it is the only nation that starts off at war with another nation in 1936, that being
埃塞俄比亞. Taking Ethiopia isn't a problem, but the war provides an easy early-game source of military experience for reformatting the Italian army divisions. Timing the end of the war is also important. End it too early and you likely will not be able to earn much experience for your generals and field marshals. End it too late and the war might just drain a large chunk of your manpower and/or equipment and the Spanish civil war might just start and end before you can finish the "Support Nationalist Spain" national focus. While the Ethiopian war and Spanish civil war is ongoing, build up your military and industry, you will need them later.
After Ethiopia, Italy can decide not only the fate of the Allies, but also the Axis. In order for Italy to disrupt
德意志國 (If Italy is going the "Italy first" route), all Italy has to do in the beginning is to invade
奧地利 before Anschluss and then attack
南斯拉夫 (causing
捷克斯洛伐克 to join as well) and then take Czechoslovakia after war with Yugoslavia. This can be difficult to pull off if Czechoslovakia fortifies, but successfully pulling it off will allow you to steal a lot of the low-hanging fruit that is normally meant for Germany, weakening them. Ironically, despite declaring war and making puppets from Austria, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, this will still generate less world tension than what Germany can produce historically from taking aggressive action against said nations.
From here, Italy can choose to expand its alliance by creating further puppets from
匈牙利王國,
羅馬尼亞王國 and
土耳其. One has to watch the world tension, however, as if it rises to 25% or higher, the allies (France and the UK) will start guaranteeing nations you target, which can easily lead to nasty war with both nations. A war with both the French and British at this stage is likely going to be too much for Italy to handle, even with skilled play, so be careful.
That being said, sometimes Italy can take refuge in audacity. If world tension is below 80% and
法國 hasn't joined the Allies yet through a focus, Italy could complete the national focus "Go After France" (or justify a wargoal on a nation when world tension is over 25%, causing France to guarantee them) and strike them directly. France has a respectable military but Italy can relatively easily build up its own military to match them through superior units, though this might require stretching Italy's manpower pool somewhat. Be mindful, however, of the fact that France's military industry is horribly sloppy, at just 6 Military factories although, France's national focus tree can expand this quite a bit. If Italy builds up its military and industry (the faster the better), attacks France and manages to encircle and destroy enough units to cripple the French military, Italy could conceivably defeat France before 1940, allowing them to more than double their industrial potential if they annex France, or acquire a nice source of manpower if they puppet them.
From here, the path to supremacy lies open; Italy can either choose to strike at Germany or the United Kingdom and once those two are gone, the rest of Europe is within your reach. Only the
蘇維埃聯盟 could theoretically present a threat to you anymore and that will most likely only become a factor towards the late game. Conquer enough land and you might just find yourself surpassing even Mussolini's wildest dreams and be able to restore the File:Imperium Romanum.png 羅馬.
If playing the more historical Axis alignment its worth noting that Italy is unique among the Axis of being within striking distance of the Middle East with its valuable and abundant Oil supplies. Using its North African holdings as a launching point and its ability to protect supply convoys through the Central and Eastern Mediterranean Italy is able to quickly seize not just the Suez but the entirety of the Allies Middle eastern territory. Just be sure to grab it all or else Vichy France will spawn and cut you off from further eastern expansion. Once this is done you are at your leisure to fabricate and push eastwards grabbing more Oil than you could possibly use from the weak Iraq and Iran. At this point you are then free to advance further into the British Raj and/or open up more fronts with the Soviet menace.
A solid, relatively simple strategy is to switch your military doctrine to "Superior Firepower" and place Support and Line Artillery (both Normal, Anti-Tank, and Anti-Air versions) in all of your divisions. Coupled with Fighters (for air supremacy), Close-Air-Support planes (to assist your ground divisions) and Field Hospitals (to conserve manpower, if resources permit) you should be able to both attack and defend against most enemy units without too much of a hassle. Once you can obtain a reliable source of fuel and enough factories to support it, you can also start fielding various kinds of Tanks (supported by Motorized/Mechanized Infantry) to further augment your breakthrough capabilities, allowing you to break stalemates and attempt to encircle enemy units for destruction.
Guard Italy's coast closely! Italy is a peninsular nation and has a very long coastline which, when dealing with a naval enemy like Britain, is a disaster waiting to happen if not properly addressed. To prevent any enemies from pulling a D-Day of their own on italy, it pays off to construct Coastal forts on all naval bases and station units there to man them to repulse invasions. Keep a set of reserve units stationed close by as well, so that if any enemies try to land next to the coastal forts and then assault them overland (to avoid the "amphibious assault" penalty), the reserve units can be brought in to encircle the invading units and contain the enemy incursion away from any naval bases and either destroy them or starve them into defeat.
As for your naval units, Italy is a peninsular nation so maintaining naval supremacy in the Mediterranean will go a long way to protecting against possible naval invasions (something an AI-controlled Italy often falls victim to). In the early game, when naval dockyards are in limited supply, a decent early-game fleet would be a mixture of torpedo-equipped destroyers and gun-carrying light cruisers (both with added armor), with some heavy cruisers added here and there as resources permit. These ships are decently powerful while also being decently expendable and replaceable. In theory, the light and heavy cruisers should engage and destroy enemy screening ships, allowing the destroyers to attack and destroy enemy capital ships once the screen ships are down. Once you acquire more naval dockyards, this combo can be further augmented with the addition of more heavy cruisers and even battleships for heavier ordnance. The Mediterranean sea is small enough that Naval Bombers operating from airfields in coastal states should have enough range to cover most sea zones, allowing you to support your navy. This also makes Aircraft Carrier battleships somewhat redundant early on.
When it comes to dealing with enemy submarines, one could set up specialized "scout fleets" consisting of destroyers optimized for detecting submarines and ordered to "Do not engage". These scout fleets can scour the Mediterranean for submarines and if they find any, they will alert the actual attack fleets, allowing them to make their way over and attack the enemy submarines, damaging and hopefully destroying them. If Italy wants to further assist their navy, they could build ships (destroyers and cruisers) outfitted with minelayers and extensively mine the Mediterranean sea. Mines will cause enemy ships to suffer a speed penalty, making them move slower, which hampers everything from responding to and engaging your fleets, disengaging, and retreating from battles and fleeing from bad situations. Having enough friendly minefields around can allow the Italian navy to do a lot more risky/audacious maneuvers and get away with it, allowing them to punch above their weight against bigger enemies like the British Royal Navy and the French navy.
To avoid issues with fuel, Italy could invest in building fuel silos in peacetime and importing Oil to fill them up. If you manage to puppet
羅馬尼亞王國 or any other nation that has a decent Oil reserve, you can import Oil at a discount. Once war does break out and fuel becomes harder to import, this can be remedied by occupying and/or annexing states that produce Oil. Alternatively, if conquering and/or importing Oil is not an available option, constructing synthetic fuel refineries can help address this. Just make sure to also protect these installations from enemy aggression as both fuel silos and oil refineries can be bombed by hostile planes and captured by enemy troops, so be careful.
Italy is uniquely versatile for a major power in that it can relatively freely decide what ideology to follow. None of the national focuses in Italy's focus tree explicitly require Italy to be of a given ideology and Italy has free access to all three political advisers (Democratic, Fascist and Communist), making it perfectly possible to switch ideology, join the appropriate faction and profit off of it.
Examples of this include: turning
Alternatively, turning Democratic, joining the Allies, guaranteeing nations like
波蘭,
捷克斯洛伐克 etc, to hamstring Germany's expansion or trick them into a defensive war, defeat the Germans (for bonus points, let the Germans beat up the French and British a fair bit before you finish them off), puppet Germany or annex their territory to gain access to their industry and resources, then build up your military, leave the Allies and use your national focus tree to generate a war goal against France or Britain at your leisure, and attack and conquer them as well. Once you no longer need it, you can again switch ideologies to either fascism or communism and continue expanding from there.
For maximum switcheroo value, Italy could theoretically drift to
