I'm sure this has been done before, but what if for whatever reason Mussolini decides that Italy should remain neutral in 1940. What do the Brits do with no ground war to fight? I'm particularly interested on your view of what the Brits do once the Germans launch Barbarossa in 1941.
My personal favorite is for British forces to deploy through Archangel and Murmansk and join the Russian forces fighting Army Group North. Is this at all possible?
Or would the Brits try amphibious landings to take the pressure of the Russians, and if so where?
Or do they just continue with the bomber offensive and let the Russians do all the fighting (not very popular with the Russians, Stalin wanted a second front in 1942!).
