Eventhough Spain was "Neutral" they were still sort of supportive for the fascists (the Axis forces) perhaps we could have it that they would also hand in some support for the German in that area. But it is an interesting area for fighting. Perhaps we could also see some Italian movements there. However if North Africa is still a warzone, how will the Allies invade the South of France, they dont have that much of an operating base.

If the Allies are in Italy they can invade Southern France....
Spsin would be an intersting warzone...

True...I think the invasion of Italy and Southern France would be more direct, so US ships going to the Strait of Gibraltar on to Italy, not landing in Northern Africa (that's for the Brits)
Spain could be interesting, but they are still "neutral", so perhaps a place where the Germans "unofficially" stage attacks from or something like that. It could be a staging point for reinforcements to Marocco in an attempt to close of the Mediterrenian (sp?) for the Allies. In Marocco there would be various nationalist groups and pro De Gaulle troops which would try to remove the Vichy and Spanish influence from Marocco.

Well if the UK still holds Gibralter and Malta (perhaps Crete was recaptured?) which would make great bases. S. France is easy to reach from both Italy and N. Africa. Brits in Italy too mate! (and Poles, French, Ghurkas, Indians, ANZACS, S. African....). (just off on the Italy idea, seeing as so many Yanks had Italian connections perhaps you can have an upgrade where one of your troops is Italian so increased chance of local resistance fighters turning up?).
Spains a good "neutral base" for say secret U boat bases. Morocco would be very interesting, great idea!

Italy is more and more sounding like a totaly madness area, local factions fighting each other, Axis and Allies fighting each other...sounds great! Would be great for campaigns in which you have to survive the war or something like that, try to get a group of refugees from one city to the other while on the way there is lots of fighting etc going on.
Americans with Italian background could be an interesting twist, perhaps an improved morale for the locals who would join your hero?

Yeah, Americans with increased morale or local connections (perhaps relatives give them some booze thus increasing their morale, or they go to an old local church etc).
Italy should be fun!
