Okay, a major power may join an alliance without declaring war. Of course, this does not apply to minors. An inconsistency, IMO, but if it is the designer's decision then I will go with it.

However, now Italy has actually entered Egypt and its units cannot be attacked by the British. Note, air units may not attack Italian units in Egypt, in Libya, or in Italy.

The first image shows a British unit unable to attack an Axis Major Power in Egypt, Italy, as they are at peace.

The second image shows the War Panel, Italy is at peace.

In my opinion, this is a bug and not a feature ;)

This is a PBEM game and, as the Allied player, I wanted to see how far this will go.

Italy is using the zone of control of German to follow them. The borders are not checked. Only the hexes ownership.

I see.... ok that is a loophole but legit. It is now German territory. But the opposite happens as well. If you cut off an Italian it can't move out.
