Well, sort of. Mussolini was also an idiot and tried to do a bunch of stuff before the Italian military was ready for it, which didn't help either. It's a common problem with Autocratic governments of any type, the leaders have a bad habit of assuming they know more about military strategy than their generals do and it almost always goes horribly.

Oh, definitely. Almost all of Italy's woes can be traced to Mussolini one way or another. I am in full agreement with you there.

But he encouraged the use of alternate biofuels for Italy's railway system, didn't he?  After all, he made the trains run on thyme.

The trains did run on time. They literally consumed time as a fuel. Therefore they were always late.

Just to be completely different:

Name: Tasaki Noriko
Gender: Female
Nation: Japanese
Class: Medic
I'll throw in with this just to be marginally contrary while still decidedly mainstream.

Well, the final vote tally is:

James McDonald, male British sniper: 1 vote
Tasaki Noriko, female Japanese medic: 4 votes
Sabrina Salvail, female Italian medic: 3 votes

So I guess our character will be Tasaki "Kawaii" Noriko, female Japanese medic, playing the Axis campaign.
This should be fun.

Will start the game once I have some available time on the main laptop.
