I kept thinking about it :D :

The one thing that could be annoying are not the one strength units landing on ports (as ports should be garrisoned in a game at this scale), but one strength units landing... not on ports!

In other words those units landing behind enemy lines, moving two hexes inland and cutting supply by, for example linking with armors that breached the line farther inland. Another similar example would be a battalion (more or less a 1 strength unit), or maybe two, cutting Italy in two.

Not sure yet if it is a serious problem, more games are required to be sure I would say. If indeed it is, maybe requiring a unit to be at least at 50% strength could be enough. No problem on my side with half a division doing that. After all 1 strength units can already do it even without landing, just by walking in a hole in the front as it will eventually happen in a crumbling front.

As for Italy...not sure.
I am torn.

Knowing that the US can deploy AA in the UK...

I think Italy should be able to deploy in Germany and visa-versa...

More than likely Germany will be supplying most of the AA to Italy but one never knows.
I just did a test. I had the French build AA and deploy them in France. I then re-deployed them to Malta so for AA the easiest solution would be to restrict their placement to hexes within the country that built them like coastal defence.

I looked at this and there is one difficulty. Say the US is building AA. If it can only put AA in US hexes and the UK controls everything....... or vice versa.

I don't think it is a big deal at the moment.

Do you know how they handle it on HOI4?

No this is not a big deal absolutely. 4 or 5 AAA won't break the game balance.
