Defense of Middle and South Italy

Middle and South Italy's transverse length is very small on map , defense there with ground units is impossible , you cant put even a railroad gun there , all of them stay in enemy battleships range

what do you think about it ? I know game is different from real history like range of battleships but it is very weird there is no point to put a ground unit to hide from ships in there

use naval units, subs for each entry, or when you control jugoslavian border jsut a flet at the entry of the adriatic sea, choking points are ideal, also in between italy, sicilia and corsica choke points are present. and a domination at sea is like air dominance, its stiffling any advance

hmmm, "silent service" came to mind, damn that was so difficult by then, with the shitty ping of the sonar overhead.

What is Japan doing in the Med? Granted it did send a squadron during WWI.
