Only Mussolini can save this Disaster...oh no...

[@nickster5207]

Imagine being an italian spending nearly a decade watching your dictator doing nothing but fumble, only for him to randomly lock the fuck in at the final hour and single handedly carry the war.

The Italian military finally finished modernizing so they’re not ready for war like Mussolini told Hitler they would be.

Mussolini the microsecond the allies and soviets said Italian trains would NOT arrive on time

@@giovanni9136 ironically the “Trains running on time” line came from an American journalist and not Mussolini himself.

Disaster saves are so fascinating to me, I wish there was a central place to upload them so everyone can play them like alternative start dates. The base game has become so boring to me after 7 years, but I would come back to play stuff like this.

Well, I think he didn't do that because, the guy who sent him the game did a pretty good job and also I think as far as battle planning goes, he was really too preoccupied.

I love how only when all hope seems lost that the save was sent Not when the Soviet Union was steamrolling the Axis and the Allies were invading, but afterwards I suppose admitting defeat is hard
