If the Italian government had somehow decided to maintain its alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary and declare war on the Entente (maybe vicious anti-Entente warmongers in the government?), what would Italy's strategic situation look like at the outset of the war? Are most troops diverted to Piedmont and Liguria for an offensive or to deal with a potential French attack? Are some forces diverted to Libya/Eritrea/Somaliland to ward off British advances? Is Greece a concern? Are some troops sent to support A-H and German operations?

And how well and how long could Italy expect to perform in such circumstances? And would this be more of a help or more of a hindrance for the rest of the CPs?
