Italy joins Axis even with more than 6 UK units in the area.

Italy joins the Axis even though the UK has more than 6 units: 6 ground units, 2 HQs, and 1 Air. I have excluded the fleet in Alexandria.

If I am not mistaken, I remember that it was specified a while ago that the "counting" by the program is done by looking at UK land units within 10 hexes of Cairo, which would leave a few hexes in West Egypt out of it.

Yes I screwed that up in my game too.
Not sure the rule is needed anymore due to the fact the UK is so weak...but it appears correct.

6 units within 10 hexes of 193,8...

Oh wow, the scenario description should be updated to reflect that. I was wondering why that has happened before given the description. This can throw a whole game when a player screws up so is really critical.

Or maybe better: Make the range 12 instead of 10 or something.

I'll put it on my list.
