Pretty much what it says on the tin: what if Italy after the disaster at Caporetto gets cold feet and asks for an armistice and thereafter gets a white peace from the CPs to get them out of the war ASAP? Let's assume they ask for the armistice in November 1917 and drop out around the same time as the Bolsheviks in February or March 1918. How does this impact the rest of the war?
The Allies would have more for the Western Front:
The French expeditionary force consisted primarily of the French Tenth Army with the addition of the 12th Corps. They took up station around Verona.[3] Four of the six French divisions (46e, 47e, 64e, 65e) were to return to the Western Front in spring 1918.
The British Expeditionary Force (Italy) came under the command of General Herbert Plumer. The principal units in the BEF(I) were the 23rd, 41st, 7th, 48th and 5th divisions.[4] The 5th Division returned to France on 1 March 1918, followed by the 41st Division in April.[5] Lieutenant General Cavan was appointed Commander-in-Chief of British Forces in Italy on 10 March 1918, comprising the three divisions of XIV Corps (United Kingdom).[6]
Also the US had one regiment deployed to Italy from the 83rd division.
A-H really lost WW1 on the Italian front in 1918:
The Salonika Front could be contained if Italy weren't an issue.
