The lost battle at Novara resulted merely in a strategic disadvantage; the Italians were cut off from Turin, whereas the way to it lay open to the Austrians.
The battle at Novara and the paralysis of the Piedmontese which followed it prove that in extreme cases, when a people needs to exert all its strength in order to save itself, nothing hinders it so much as the monarchy.
The Austrians were completely successful in establishing their line of battle and simultaneously delivering a concentric attack on all points of the Piedmontese battle formation with such a superiority of force that the Piedmontese were crushed by it.

There was nothing subtle about the Swiss' tactics: They would deploy into three groups, usually echelon, as soon as arriving at the battle field and go on the offensive almost immediately.
So impetuous were the Swiss in this period, that on a number of occasions they forced their employers to fight with the threat that they would immediately return to their homeland.

If you win the battle of britain the United Kingdom is going to have make sure they protect the home island before worrying about other areas.
winning the Battle of Britain but then using the sealift and bonus units elsewhere doesn't seem particularly 'gamey' to me - it represents the British RAF and Royal Navy taking a good kicking, and consequently being less able to defend, say, the Mediterranean, which is the most likely place to use the extra Axis capacity.
