I NEED A WINNING STRATEGY TO WIN THE OXFORD SCENARIO....THOSE ITALIANS ARE USELESS..ANY TIPS WOULD BE APPRECIATED...

NOBODY KNOWS THE STRATEGY FOR THIS SCENARIO? REALLY?

Patience, please!
Allow for different time zones, jobs, holidays, multiplayer tournaments and maybe having played one of the other paths.

First, it's dense terrain, so you'll need infantry, defensive artillery, and ideally some bombers with fighter escorts. You'll need tanks but be careful to keep them out of dense terrain unless backed by artillery.
Second, the British had radar, which has spotting 5, so assume they can see you. Like forts, they can't move and they stay visible once spotted, but this means that you can set traps by placing a unit just in sight range, supported by friends just out of sight range and backed with artillery. You will draw some entrenched units into an attack.
But these two won't win the battle.

There might be better ways to win, but this worked:
Right deployment area: clear the immediate area. Most move north, and a few join the central group. If the Northern group has time they head left to support the central or left group.
The central group works up to the central objective, helped by any spare units on the right not needed in the northern advance.
The left group supported by the Italians heads towards Worcester.

That's all I can remember - it worked OK.

Also, here are some ideas for getting some use out of the Italian infantry. Spend 61 prestige and upgrade them to bersaglieri who fight much better. However, even normal infantry can distract an attack from a core unit, get an entrenched unit to move out of cover to attack. They also contribute to mass attack on high initiative units even if you never actually attack with them, can be used to protect a damaged core unit or prevent a weakened enemy from retreating to safety or reinforcing properly, and you can scout with them, since you don't really care if they get damaged or ambushed, and they clear mines in about three attacks. They are dirt cheap to reinforce, and for these jobs you don't need any experience, just being there is enough. Same goes for the other Italian units - upgrades can be worth the prestige, but they can help support your core units even without upgrading.

I'm going to add that seeing as you have posted "Need tips to win" type threads for 3 scenarios in the same campaign, maybe you should play on an easier difficulty? There isn't a lot of point playing a game if everyone just tells you how to win
